Overview

Rui Filipe Oliveira is affiliated with the International Sleep Products Association in the United States. Their research spans multiple interconnected fields, primarily focusing on psychology with an emphasis on social psychology and aspects of ecology, evolution, behavior, and systematics.

Their scholarly contributions include work in several subfields such as social psychology, cell biology, experimental and cognitive psychology, and ecology. These subfields complement Oliveira's primary focus on psychology and expand into biological and behavioral sciences.

The main topics of Oliveira's research encompass neuroendocrine regulation and behavior, animal behavior and reproduction, zebrafish biomedical research applications, evolutionary psychology and human behavior, marine animal studies, primate behavior and ecology, and the physiological stress responses involving cortisol.

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • INTERFERENCE A JOURNAL OF AUDIO CULTURE
  • Scientific Reports
  • Journal of Neuroendocrinology
  • Biology Letters

Their recent papers show involvement in cutting-edge research on social and neuroendocrine processes, primarily using zebrafish and other aquatic models. Notable recent publications include:

  • Evolutionarily conserved role of oxytocin in social fear contagion in zebrafish (2023, Science)
  • Perceptual mechanisms of social affiliation in zebrafish (2020, Scientific Reports)
  • Brain morphology predicts social intelligence in wild cleaner fish (2020, Nature Communications)
  • Oxytocin receptor signalling modulates novelty recognition but not social preference in zebrafish (2020, Journal of Neuroendocrinology)
  • Cognitive appraisal in fish: stressor predictability modulates the physiological and neurobehavioural stress response in sea bass (2020, Proceedings of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences)

Oliveira collaborates frequently with a group of researchers, showing repeated co-authorship that likely supports ongoing projects in related disciplines. Common co-authors include:

  • Magda C. Teles
  • Kyriacos Kareklas
  • Gil Levkowitz
  • Ana Rita Nunes

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring Ecology and Evolution often sparks interest in understanding behavior and complex interactions — not just in ecosystems, but within humans as well. If you’re curious about the connections between natural sciences and human behavior, you may want to consider a forensic psychology degree. This field blends psychological insight with legal and criminal investigation processes.

Likewise, studying how people grow and adapt can lead to advanced opportunities in psychology. For example, an online child and adolescent psychology masters program allows you to focus on developmental stages, which may intersect with ecological education.

Many students with backgrounds in ecology or related fields are also drawn to online master degree programs in counseling. These programs prepare graduates for careers supporting mental health and well-being — areas that benefit from a holistic, systems-based view.

If you’re interested in evidence-based interventions and research, clinical psychology masters programs online provide another dynamic pathway. They equip you with skills to assess, diagnose, and treat mental disorders, offering direct impact in both clinical environments and research sectors.
