Among‐individual variation in vital rates, such as mortality and birth rates, exists in nearly all
populations. Recent studies suggest that this individual heterogeneity produces substantial …

The bioavailability of essential and non-essential elements in vegetation is expected to
influence the performance of free-ranging terrestrial herbivores. However, attempts to relate …

While adult sex ratio (ASR) is a crucial component for population management, there is still
a limited understanding of how its fluctuation affects population dynamics. To demonstrate …

Context Predation-risk and ecological disturbance regimes can both influence behavioral
decisions by prey, yet few studies have simultaneously considered responses to these …

Understanding animal personality, that is, consistent behavioural variation among
individuals, is essential for elucidating the evolutionary origins of human personality …

Wildlife managers adjust harvest quotas based on population changes and specific
management goals, like controlling population size and demography or minimizing human …

Natal habitat preference induction (NHPI) occurs when animals exhibit a preference for new
habitat that is similar to that which they experienced in their natal environment, potentially …

Defensive traits are hypothesized to benefit prey by reducing predation risk from a focal
predator but come at a cost to the fitness of the prey. Variation in the expression of defensive …

The expression of behaviour can vary both among (ie behavioural types (BTs)) and within
individuals (ie plasticity), and investigating causes and consequences of variation has …

Predicting future space use by animals requires models that consider both habitat
availability and individual differences in habitat selection. The functional response in habitat …
