1. Pharmaceutical drugs in aquatic ecosystems : Does exposure to oxazepam alter behavior of brown trout (Salmo trutta) and consequently affect the dominance hierarchy?
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : A greater consumption of pharmaceutical drugs entails an increased concentration of active benzodiazepines in aquatic ecosystems. Consequently, aquatic organisms are experiencing altered behavior that may affect dominance hierarchies since social status (among other variables) is associated with behavioral traits. READ MORE
