Journal ArticleDOI
Male urine signals social rank in the Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus).
Eduardo N. Barata,Eduardo N. Barata,Peter C. Hubbard,Olinda Almeida,António Miranda,Adelino V.M. Canario +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that males actively advertise their dominant status through urinary odorants which may act as a 'dominance' pheromone to modulate aggression in rivals, thereby contributing to social stability within the lek.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-invasive measurement of steroids in fish-holding water: important considerations when applying the procedure to behaviour studies
Alexander P. Scott,Katharina Hirschenhauser,Nicole Bender,Rui Filipe Oliveira,Ryan L. Earley,Marion Sebire,Tim Ellis,Michael Pavlidis,Peter C. Hubbard,Mar Huertas,Adelino V.M. Canario +10 more
TL;DR: A review of the application of non-invasive measurement of steroid hormones in holding water, as opposed to blood plasma, can be found in this article, where the authors argue that the rewards justify the extra effort.
Journal ArticleDOI
Olfactory discrimination of female reproductive status by male tilapia(Oreochromis mossambicus)
António Miranda,Olinda Almeida,Peter C. Hubbard,Eduardo N. Barata,Eduardo N. Barata,Adelino V.M. Canario +5 more
TL;DR: The ability of male tilapia to discriminate between females of differing reproductive status is mediated by odorants released into the water, probably via the urine and faeces, by pre-ovulatory females.
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-future CO2 levels impair the olfactory system of a marine fish
Cosima S. Porteus,Peter C. Hubbard,Tamsyn M. Uren Webster,Ronny van Aerle,Adelino V.M. Canario,Eduarda M. Santos,Rod W. Wilson +6 more
TL;DR: These findings complement the previously proposed impairment of γ-aminobutyric acid receptors, and indicate that both the olfactory system and central brain function are compromised by elevated CO2 levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urine as a Social Signal in the Mozambique Tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus)
Olinda Almeida,António Miranda,Pedro R. Frade,Peter C. Hubbard,Eduardo N. Barata,Adelino V.M. Canario +5 more
TL;DR: To test whether this species is actively signalling to conspecifics or the olfactory sensitivity evolved as a form of chemical spying, the current study assessed changes in urination rates of both sexes in different social contexts.
