Neuroactive pollution alters shoaling in fish, but group phenotype matters

Abstract excerpt

Collective behavior governs how animal groups evade predators, forage, navigate, and share information. Yet it is rarely the focus of research on human-induced environmental change, particularly in the case of chemical pollution. Here, we show that exposure to the common neuroactive pollutant temazepam disrupts shoaling dynamics in fish (Poecilia reticulata), with effects shaped by group phenotype. Using 111 group...
