Animal personality traits such as boldness, activity and aggressiveness have been described for many animal species. However, why some individuals are consistently bolder …
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 …
The Flexible Phenotype attempts a true synthesis of physiology, behaviour, and ecology by developing an empirical argument that describes the intimate connections between …
Studies on domestication are blooming, but the developmental bases for the generation of domestication traits and breed diversity remain largely unexplored. Some phenotypic …
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 …

The mouse is one of the most important model organisms for understanding human genetic function and disease. This includes characterization of the factors that influence energy …
Energy metabolism has received much attention as a potential driver of repeatable among‐ individual differences in behaviour (animal personality). Several factors have been …
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the rate of metabolism of a resting, postabsorptive, non- reproductive, adult bird or mammal, measured during the inactive circadian phase at a …
