Behaviour, Ecology and Evolution of Fishes Laboratory
Department of Biological Sciences at Macquarie University
The Behaviour, Ecology and Evolution of Fishes Laboratory studies fish biology, with emphasis on behavioural ecology. They are part of the Department of Biological Sciences at Macquarie University, within the Division of Brain, Behaviour and Evolution. Research interests include fish behavioural ecology and comparative cognition, focusing on learning and memory, cerebral lateralization and personality. The lab frequently looks to apply research to fisheries or conservation management, including life-skills training for hatchery-reared fishes. Culum Brown moved to Macquarie University in 2006 on an Australian Research Fellowship. The lab quickly grew and many Australian and international biologists have studied or collaborated with them.
