thesis
posted on 2020-01-03, 12:16 authored by Jake Mitchell MartinThe overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the impacts of environmentally realistic exposure to fluoxetine, an antidepressant, on ecologically important behavioural and physiological traits in freshwater fish (mosquitofish, Gambusia holbrooki and guppies, Poecilia reticulata). Specifically, in this thesis the impacts of fluoxetine on behavioural traits linked to anxiety, sociability, reproduction and foraging, as well as physiological traits related to health and reproduction were assessed.
