Teresa Dzieweczynski, Lindsay Forrette and Krystal Mannion publish in ‘Behavioural Processes’

Teresa Dzieweczynski, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Psychology, wrote an article that was published in the most recent issue of the journalBehavioural Processes. 

The article, "Acute exposure to 17α-ethinylestradiol disrupts audience effects on male-female interactions in Betta splendens," features an undergraduate first author, Lindsay Forrette  '13, an Animal Behavior major, and another student, Krystal Mannion '15, a double major in Animal Behavior and Marine Sciences.

 This is the sixth publication for Forrette, now a graduate student at Indiana State University, and the third for Mannion.

The research was funded by a UNE mini-grant from the Office of the Vice President of Research and Scholarship and continues the Dzieweczynski lab's work on examining how pharmaceutical exposure affects fitness-related behaviors at the individual- and population-level.
