Overview

David Crews is affiliated with The University of Texas at Austin in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science, with a strong emphasis on the effects and risks of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). The scope of their work also extends into related areas such as birth, development, and health; toxic organic pollutants impact; neuroendocrine regulation and behavior; stress responses and cortisol; animal behavior and reproduction; and estrogen and related hormone effects.

Their scholarly contributions include several recent papers addressing various aspects of toxicology and endocrinology:

  • The relation between liver damage and reproduction in female Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) exposed to high ambient temperature, 2020, Poultry Science
  • Effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on hypothalamic oxytocin and vasopressin systems, 2021, Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A Ecological and Integrative Physiology
  • Prenatal EDCs Impair Mate and Odor Preference and Activation of the VMN in Male and Female Rats, 2020, Endocrinology
  • EDCs Reorganize Brain-Behavior Phenotypic Relationships in Rats, 2021, Journal of the Endocrine Society
  • Two Hits of EDCs Three Generations Apart: Effects on Social Behaviors in Rats, and Analysis by Machine Learning, 2022, Toxics

David Crews has co-authored extensively with several researchers in their field. Frequent collaborators include:
