Behavior

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Physiological, Developmental and Behavioral Effects of Marine Pollution

Abstract

Behavior is a particularly sensitive measure of an organism’s response to stresses, including environmental contaminants. Noticeable changes in behavior can be found at low concentrations of chemicals, often lower than concentrations affecting biochemical biomarkers. Since behavior is a link between physiological and ecological processes, it is a particularly important type of response. In addition to being sensitive, behavioral changes are likely to occur in nature and can have ecological effects at the population and community level. While much early research focused on avoidance, tremors, or coughs, complex behaviors such as predator/prey interactions, burrowing, reproductive, and social behaviors are much more relevant to ecological impacts.
