Marine animal behaviour in a high CO2 ocean (2015, background): “For example, environmental contamination can suppress feeding behaviour and predator avoidance by prey in fishes and can change predator−prey interactions, having implications for contaminant transfer through a food web (Weis et al. 2001).”
Behavioral Disturbances: The Missing Link between Sub-Organismal and Supra-Organismal Responses to Stress? Prospects Based on Aquatic Research (2009, background): “Toxicant exposure may also result in alterations of the brain neurotransmitter levels such as serotonin, dopamine, and GABA (see reviews by Weis et al. 2001; Scott and Sloman 2004).”
Interactive effects of predators and a pesticide on aquatic communities (2008, unknown): “…of pesticides (particularly those that inhibit acetylcholine esterase) can alter the behavior of predators and prey (e.g. decreased capture ability of predators and decreased movement of prey) and cause a reduction in predation rates (reviewed by Weis et al. 2001, Relyea and Hoverman 2006).”
Effects of Copper on the Burrowing Behavior of Estuarine and Coastal Invertebrates, the Polychaete Nereis diversicolor and the Bivalve Scrobicularia plana (2009, background): “Indeed, pollutantinduced alterations in the behavior of one member of the community can cascade through the ecosystem (Weis et al. 2001) and these sub-lethal impacts could lead to an “ecological death” (for instance, mortality of a population due to impacts on the behavior of organisms) (Kruzynski…”

Effects of Pollution on Fish Behavior, Personality, and Cognition: Some Research Perspectives (2020, background): “For instance, pollutants are likely to affect how efficiently individuals escape predators by altering activity, boldness, olfaction ability, and learning abilities (Weis et al., 1999, 2001; Lürling and Scheffer, 2007).”
Pollutants and fish predator/prey behavior: A review of laboratory and field approaches (2012, background): “Stomach contents of field-caught Piles Creek fish had far more sediment and detritus (which is not nutritious for them) and less live prey than Tuckerton fish (Smith and Weis, 1997; Weis et al, 2001a).”
The role of animal behaviour in the study of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (2004, unknown): “However, some researchers have argued that behavioural endpoints have yet to live up to their potential as bioindicators of contamination, although this topic has been widely debated (Doving 1991; Peakall 1992, 1996; Cohn & MacPhail 1996; Weis et al. 2001; Dell’Omo 2002).”
PLANT SECONDARY METABOLITES COMPROMISE THE ENERGY BUDGETS OF SPECIALIST AND GENERALIST MAMMALIAN HERBIVORES (2005, background): “Reduced locomotion on a juniper diet may decrease the success of activities such as foraging, defending territories, escaping predators, and finding mates (Swingland and Greenwood 1983, Karasov 1986, Weis et al. 2001).”
