Research summary

Isaac Y. Ligocki studies animal behavior in the context of environmental stressors, focusing on how chemical pollutants (such as pharmaceuticals and pesticides) and social factors like dominance hierarchies shape the behavior, physiology, and invasion success of fish and other animals. Much of the work combines lab-based behavioral experiments with systematic reviews and conceptual frameworks linking pollution exposure to animal behavior. This research sits at the intersection of ecotoxicology, animal behavior, and invasion biology.
