Dr. Amelia Munson is an Affiliate Researcher at the University of Glasgow's School of Biodiversity, One Health & Veterinary Medicine. Her work focuses on understanding how environmental stressors—such as pollutants, climate change, and human activities—affect fish behavior, physiology, and social dynamics. She collaborates extensively with international researchers, publishing on topics like cognitive performance in fish under varying metabolic conditions and the ecological impacts of invasive species. Recent studies include meta-analyses on anthropogenic pollutants' effects on fish social behavior and investigations into the design of cognitive assays for fish behavior studies.
Her research integrates ecological, physiological, and behavioral perspectives, addressing critical questions about organismal resilience and adaptation. Key contributions include methodological guidelines for respirometry and insights into how environmental changes disrupt fish sleep patterns and social cohesion. Collaborative projects highlight her engagement with conservation and fisheries management challenges, such as impacts of ornamental fisheries on cichlids and invasive species detection in UK waters.
