The developmental perspectives of animal personality enhance our understanding of how
personality structure changes in relation to life stage. Clonal animals are ideal models for …

Highlights•Clonal geckos were reared with different energy intake from hatching to
adult.•The high-energy group grew faster and laid eggs earlier than the low-energy …

Individual animals exhibit considerable differences in cognitive characteristics associated
with personality differences. The cognition-personality link was intensively investigated in …

Geckos are among the most diverse radiations of lizards; however, the lack of baseline
natural history data on the reproductive biology for many species creates a challenge for …

Individual differences in behavioural traits influence habitat choice, and in turn, differences
in used habitats shape different behavioural tendencies through plasticity. Here, I …

Caribbean islands are particularly vulnerable to biological invasions. We update the
distribution of the highly invasive mourning gecko, Lepidodactylus lugubris, in Guadeloupe …

Although the majority of reptiles show variable clutch sizes, geckos have a fixed clutch size
(one or two eggs) and modify reproductive output by changing the offspring size or clutch …

Many species of organisms are known to have expanded their distributional ranges and
established highly dense populations in their non-native areas due to human activities …

MATERIALS AND METHODS First, assuming that innate individual differences among
clones are minimal, I expected that accumulating experiences of each individual would …
