Effects of environmental enrichment on personality traits in juvenile Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) : interplay with brain morphology, growth performance and implication for welfare
… subject in diverse disciplines ranging from behavioural ecology to fish welfare. In aquaculture, animals are often raised in plain housing conditions and such environments could severely restrict the natural behavioural repertoire of animals, and hence may compromise their welfare. Therefore, …

Behavioural causes and consequences of sexual size dimorphism in an apex predator species.
… characterisation of consistent individual behavioural variations, unrelated to age or sex, is equally considered to have important fitness consequences. Our understanding of behavioural causes of size dimorphism remains weak, and few studies have investigated the relationship between …

Non-structural Deterrents and Opportunistic Dispersal in an Invasive Fish: The Role of Among-Individual Variation on Common Carp Movement
… this challenge, my thesis applied concepts of behavioural ecology to invasion biology. Using an invasive fish, Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio), as my study species, I examined the influence of among-individual behavioural variation on opportunistic dispersal and on the effectiveness of …

The spatial scale of adaptive population differentiation in Atlantic Salmon: local adaptation in smolt migration timing
… because it reflects a central component of the behavioural syndrome. By linking variation in an important life history trait to environmental features, one may better understand more general ecoevolutionary processes which shape present day genetic variation in freshwater systems and …

Animal personality and the social context: the role of boldness and sociability variation in schooling fish
… their environment. In particular, consistent behavioural variation, known as animal personality, is a substantial driver of a range of important ecological and evolutionary processes. As most animal species are social for at least part of their lives and group living is common, a crucial link …
