  1. 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 geovetenskap

    Author : Olivia Jirlén; [2022]
    Keywords : Dominance hierarchy; behavior; oxazepam;

    Abstract : 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

  3. 2. How social behaviour in juvenile Brown trout (Salmo trutta) are regulated by social hierarchies and exposure to the benzodiazepine oxazepam

  5. 4. Effects of an anti-anxiety drug on predator-induced behavior in a boreal frog species

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Martin Johansson; [2021]
    Keywords : Behavior; oxazepam; predator; Rana temporaria; velocity;

    Abstract : Pharmaceuticals polluting natural environments pose a greater and greater threat in today’s society. Benzodiazepines, the most common form of anxiolytic drug, can commonly be found in nature as a result of the release of human wastewater containing the drug, and have been shown to affect both fish and frog species in several different ways related to predator evasion.

  6. 5. Beteendeeffekter av antidepressivt läkemedel på abborre (Perca fluviatilis) : socialt och aktivt beteende undersökts genom att kombinera behandlingar med oxazepam, temperatur och predationstryck

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Oskar Karlsson; Svante Knutsen; [2020]
    Keywords : antidepressiva läkemedel; oxazepam; abborre;

    Abstract : Användandet av antidepressiva och ångestdämpande läkemedel, som ex. oxazepam, ökar i samhället vilket kan leda till höga halter i våra vattendrag. Tidigare studier har visat att abborrar som blir utsatta för miljörelevanta koncentrationer av oxazepam ändrar sitt beteende. READ MORE
