Considering behaviour in genetic sampling – a case study with grey seals
… are increasingly linked to intra-specific behavioural variations. Advancing our knowledge of behavioural genetics could make screening populations for genetic polymorphisms associated with behavioural variations possible. Genetic-behaviour links have been increasingly discovered in …

Tempering the Ambition of Social Science Genomics: Causation, Explanation, and Evidence for Policy
… integrative field of study which brings together behavioural genetics and the social sciences. Sociogenomic integration consists in the use of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and related tools (particularly the so-called polygenic scores) within psychology, sociology, economics, and …

Olfactory learning, its development and changing role in Honeybee (Apis Mellifera) behaviour
… thesis aims to establish any differences in the behavioural parameters of this olfactory learning. A strong, repeatable methodology is developed, and this specificity of the learning, tested by training bees to different odours, provides a useful model of other phenomenon important in learning …

Elucidating the neural circuitry underlying social spacing in Drosophila melanogaster through the lens of neuroligin 3
Social interactions among animals can be complex, and abnormal social behaviours may result in negative fitness consequences for both the individual displaying them, and the entire group. To understand the neural basis of complex social behaviour, we can study simpler behaviours that precede and …

Characterisation of new regulators and neural plasticity of the O2-sensing circuit in Caenorhabditis elegans
… cue for this nematode that reprograms its behavioural strategies as well as physiology after prolonged oxygen experience. However, it is not known how other sensory modalities affect O2-escape behaviour. Moreover, the molecular details of how oxygen alters C. elegans behavioural preferences …
