Within populations, individuals often show repeatable variation in behaviour, called 'animal
personality'. In the last few decades, numerous empirical studies have attempted to …

Behavioural ageing patterns can vary among individuals and can predict long-term changes
in the extent of among-individual variation in behaviour, resulting in age-related changes in …

Personality is relevant in shaping the way animals respond to environmental conditions.
Some personality traits may be disadvantageous under non-optimal environmental …

Fisheries have impacted seabird populations worldwide, either via bycatch mortality or
resource depletion. Understanding the overlap between seabird distributions and fisheries …

Animals exhibit extensive intraspecific variation in behaviour. Causes of such variation are
less well understood. Here, we ask when competition leads to the maintenance of multiple …

The recent interest in animal personality has sparked a number of studies on the heritability
of personality traits. Yet, how the sources variance these traits can be decomposed remains …

Behavioural traits are considered animal personality traits when individuals differ
consistently in their expression across time and across context. Here, we test this idea on …

A fundamental goal of evolutionary ecology is to identify the sources underlying trait
variation on which selection can act. Phenotypic variation will be determined by both genetic …

Vigilance allows prey species to detect predators before it is too late to escape. While the
adaptive value of vigilance has become clearer over the years, developmental questions …

Social animals interact frequently with conspecifics, and their behaviour is influenced by
social context, environmental cues and the behaviours of interaction partners, allowing for …
