There is increasing interest in individual differences in animal behaviour. Recent research
now suggests that an individual's behaviour, once considered to be plastic, may be more …

There is increasing interest in documenting and explaining the existence of marked
intraspecific variation in metabolic rate in animals, with fishes providing some of the best …

Consistent individual differences (CIDs) in behavior are a widespread phenomenon in
animals, but the proximate reasons for them are unresolved. We discuss evidence for the …

Individual differences in the energy cost of self-maintenance (resting metabolic rate, RMR)
are substantial and the focus of an emerging research area. These differences may …

The study of phenotypic evolution should be an integrative endeavor that combines different
approaches and crosses disciplinary and phylogenetic boundaries to consider complex …

This review examines the contribution of research on fishes to the growing field of
behavioural syndromes. Current knowledge of behavioural syndromes in fishes is reviewed …

In this paper we show how animal personality could explain some of the large inter‐
individual variation in resting metabolic rate (MR) and explore methodological and …

Behavioral traits and diet were traditionally thought to be highly plastic within individuals.
This view was espoused in the widespread use of optimality models, which broadly predict …

Metabolic rate reflects an organism's capacity for growth, maintenance and reproduction,
and is likely to be a target of selection. Physiologists have long sought to understand the …

Consistent individual differences in behaviour, termed personality, are common in animal
populations and can constrain their responses to ecological and environmental variation …
