Behavioral type - environment correlations in three-spined stickleback
… evolutionary and ecological processes in the three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus). In the first chapter I documented two such behavioral type-environment correlations, one between boldness and social environment and the other between exploratory behavior and habitat type. In the …

Animal personality and the social context: the role of boldness and sociability variation in schooling fish
… I systematically investigate this link, using three-spined stickleback fish (Gasterosteus aculeatus) as my model system. I begin by showing that fish vary consistently in their boldness and sociability, with only boldness being positively linked to food intake for fish at rest. This finding …

The individual and collective behavior of social organisms across environments
… questions through the use of two organisms; three-spined stickleback fish (Gasterosteus aculeatus) and odorous house ants (Tapinoma sessile). Both of these species are group-living, exhibit considerable variation in behavior at both the individual and collective level, and have significant …

Exploring the fathering brain: insights from neural activation
… season, we measured brain activation in male three-spined sticklebacks. First, we developed a method for quantifying brain activation by measuring the expression of an immediate early gene using whole mount in situ hybridization (WISH) (Chapter 1). The method uses mini mRNA probes that are …
