Interest in individual differences in animal behavioural plasticities has surged in recent
years, but research in this area has been hampered by semantic confusion as different …

Researchers from diverse disciplines, including organismal and cellular physiology, sports
science, human nutrition, evolution and ecology, have sought to understand the causes and …

Fluctuations in abiotic and biotic conditions exist in almost all habitats (Dunlap, Loros, &
DeCoursey, 2004; Stevenson et al., 2015). Some fluctuations like the alternation between …

Individual differences in metabolic rate have been linked with variations in behaviour and
key life‐history traits and can affect ecological patterns within animal populations. Yet …

Highlights•Many behavioural and physiological studies quantify broad sense 'repeatability'.•'
Repeatability'estimates whether individual trait scores are maintained over time.•R (an …

Metabolic rate is one of the most widely measured physiological traits in animals and may
be influenced by both endogenous (eg body mass) and exogenous factors (eg oxygen …

The ability to maintain a (relatively) stable body temperature in a wide range of thermal
environments by use of endogenous heat production is a unique feature of endotherms such …

Variation in aerobic capacity has far reaching consequences for the physiology, ecology,
and evolution of vertebrates. Whether at rest or active, animals are constrained to operate …

The study of behavioral syndromes aims to understand among-individual correlations of
behavior, yielding insights into the ecological factors and proximate constraints that shape …

Kelp forests are experiencing broad scale declines in abundance and shifts in latitudinal
ranges in many areas of the world due to numerous environmental stressors, especially …
