Research focusing on among‐individual differences in behaviour ('animal personality') has
been blooming for over a decade. Central theories explaining the maintenance of such …

The notion that men are more variable than women has become embedded into scientific
thinking. For mental traits like personality, greater male variability has been partly attributed …

Extreme temperature events are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate
change. Such events threaten insects, including pollinators, pests and disease vectors …

This introduction to the topical collection on Pace-of-life syndromes: a framework for the
adaptive integration of behaviour, physiology, and life history provides an overview of …

Interest in incorporating life history research from evolutionary biology into the human
sciences has grown rapidly in recent years. Two core features of this research have the …

Male–female coevolution has taken different paths among closely related species, but our
understanding of the factors that govern its direction is limited. While it is clear that …

Climate change is putting the fate of ectothermic animals at stake because their body
temperature closely tracks environmental temperatures. The ability to adjust thermal limits …

Adaptive integration of life history and behaviour is expected to result in variation in the pace‐
of‐life. Previous work focused on whether 'risky'phenotypes live fast but die young, but …

Metabolic cold adaptation, or Krogh's rule, is the controversial hypothesis that predicts a
monotonically negative relationship between metabolic rate and environmental temperature …

General factor of personality (GFP) is a central concept in personality and individual
differences. Various scholars have suggested that GFP is an indicator of social …
