Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Adam L. Crane's research program investigates animal behavior, with a particular focus on predator-prey interactions and the ecological and evolutionary underpinnings of neophobia, which is the avoidance of novel stimuli. His work utilizes meta-analytic reviews to synthesize existing knowledge and conceptual reviews to advance theoretical frameworks in behavioral ecology.

Crane has explored various aspects of animal behavior, including the role of chemical cues in aquatic systems, the impact of noise on predator-prey dynamics, and the influence of chronic exposure to specific compounds on neurobiological pathways and behavior in fish. He has also examined the effectiveness of conservation strategies, such as predator-recognition training for improving the survival rates of released animals. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 21, with 94 total publications and 1,293 citations, designating him as a highly cited researcher.
