Recent ecological studies have shown that oxidative status could have a significant impact
on fitness components in wild animals. Not only can oxidative status reflect the …

In evolutionary and behavioural ecology, increasing attention is being paid to the fact that
functionally distinct behaviours are often not independent from each other. Such …

In recent years, behavioural ecologists have taken to studying oxidative stress in free-
ranging organisms because it has been proposed as an important mediator of life-history …

Coping styles represent alternative response patterns in reaction to a stressor. The coping
style model provides a set of predictions about correlations between behavioural and …

Coping styles in response to stressors have been described both in humans and in other
animal species. Because coping styles are directly related to individual fitness they are part …

In captivity, personality types differ in behavioral flexibility:“fast”(neophilic, exploratory, and
aggressive) types quickly form routines, whereas “slow” types continually adjust their …

Highlights•Self-medication may occur in suboptimal physiological states influencing
fitness.•Dietary antioxidants may be used to alleviate oxidative stress.•Self-medication may …

Variation in how individuals cope behaviourally and physiologically with stressors is
widespread and can have a significant impact on life-history traits and fitness. Individual …

There is growing recognition that variation in animal personality traits can influence survival
and reproduction rates, and consequently may be important for wildlife population dynamics …

This paper explores the potential for less anthropocentric approaches to researching human-
nonhuman relations through visual ethnography, critically examining the conceptualization …
