معرفی
Dr. B.J. Riedstra is a Lecturer in the Department of Biology at the University of Groningen's Faculty of Science and Engineering. His research focuses on animal behavior, evolutionary biology, and endocrinology, with particular emphasis on how maternal effects, environmental stimuli, and hormonal regulation influence offspring traits such as laterality, boldness, and cognitive bias. His work spans vertebrate species including sticklebacks, rainbowfish, and birds like red jungle fowl and rock pigeons.
Research Projects:
- Investigating how parental predator exposure shapes offspring behavior and laterality in sticklebacks
- Studying cognitive biases in fish related to laterality and boldness
- Analyzing maternal androgen effects on embryonic development in birds
- Exploring light exposure impacts on embryonic laterality in rainbowfish
Key Themes:
- Behavioral plasticity and environmental adaptation
- Maternal-offspring hormonal communication
- Developmental origins of behavior and physiology
Labs/Teams: Member of the Biology Lecturers Team 2 at the University of Groningen, located at Nijenborgh 7, Room 5171.0150.
