2. 6. Environmental influences on the behavioural ecology of juvenile salmonids – the importance of rearing density

   Author : Sofia Brockmark; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; rearing density; structural complexity; familiarity; antipredator response; limited attention; social status; growth rate; smolt status; fin erosion; post-release performance; hatchery supplementation; brown trout; Atlantic salmon;

   Abstract : Background and aims: Early environmental conditions are known to influence the phenotypic development of animals, including behavioural alterations. The overall aim of this thesis is to investigate the effects of density, social stability and structural complexity on growth, behaviour, and survival in the wild, using juvenile brown trout (Salmo trutta) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) as model species.

   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Human olfaction; Laterality; Olfactory processes; Odor familiarity; Odor identification; OERP; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Abstract : In this thesis lateralization of olfactory functions was investigated by both behavioral and electrophysiological assessment, the latter with the olfactory event-related potential (OERP) technique. The olfactory sense is primarily ipsilateral in that a stimulus that is presented to one nostril is initially processed in the same hemisphere. READ MORE

7. 10. Unfolding familiarity : re-occupying daily life among older persons with physical disabilities, in Japan
