1. 1. Pharmaceutical drugs in aquatic ecosystems : Does exposure to oxazepam alter behavior of brown trout (Salmo trutta) and consequently affect the dominance hierarchy?

   Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Författare :Olivia Jirlén; [2022]
   Nyckelord :Dominance hierarchy; behavior; oxazepam;

   Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

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

   Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

   Författare :Elin Johansson Kvarnström; [2022]
   Nyckelord :Behaviour; Brown trout; Dominance; Ecotoxicology; Exposure; Fish; Oxazepam; Pharmaceutical; Salmo trutta; Social status;

   Sammanfattning : Improved global healthcare rises the production and consumption of human pharmaceuticals. Insufficient wastewater treatment systems and unregulated downstream impacts causes pharmaceutical contamination of surface waters with trace residues in countries covering all continents. LÄS MER

4. 3. Behavior effects of a psychotropic pharmaceutical contaminant on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) juveniles : Atlantic salmon juveniles exposed to two different oxazepam concentrations

   Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Författare :Dimitra Kampezidou; [2021]
   Nyckelord :oxazepam; anxiolytics; benzodiazepines; pharmaceutical contaminant; pollution; Atlantic salmon salmo salar ; anxiety-like behavior;

   Sammanfattning : Environmental pollution by pharmaceuticals is an issue of concern that is currently attracting attention around the world. Although environmental effects of pharmaceutical contaminants are not yet well documented, studies have shown that these substances may have the potential to disrupt the biotic component of an ecosystem.

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

   Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Författare :Martin Johansson; [2021]
   Nyckelord :Behavior; oxazepam; predator; Rana temporaria; velocity;

   Sammanfattning : 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.

7. 5. Behavioral Alteration of Ninespine Stickleback (Pungitius pungitius) and Threespined Stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) when Exposed to the Anxiolytic Drug Oxazepam.

   Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Författare :Jenni Burman; [2020]
   Nyckelord :Behavioral alteration; oxazepam; Pungitus pungitus; Gasterosteus aculeatus;

   Sammanfattning : One of the environmental hazards the aquatic ecosystem is faced with today is pollution by pharmaceuticals that enter the aquatic system through wastewater from hospitals, manufacturing processes and improper disposal by the public. Benzodiazepines are a class of anxiolytic pharmaceuticals that have been shown to have behavioral modifying effects on exposed biota. LÄS MER
