A guide for studying among-individual behavioral variation from movement data in the wild
Animal tracking and biologging devices record large amounts of data on individual
movement behaviors in natural environments. In these data, movement ecologists often view …

Unifying individual differences in personality, predictability and plasticity: a practical guide
Organisms use labile traits to respond to different conditions over short time‐scales. When a
population experiences the same conditions, we might expect all individuals to adjust their …

Personality, plasticity and predictability in sticklebacks: bold fish are less plastic and more predictable than shy fish
It is well established that animals often differ consistently from one another in their
behaviour. Most work has focused on consistent differences in average behaviour, generally …

Biologging reveals individual variation in behavioural predictability in the wild
Recent research highlights the ecological importance of individual variation in behavioural
predictability. Individuals may not only differ in their average expression of a behavioural …

Movement predictability of individual barn owls facilitates estimation of home range size and survival
Background There is growing attention to individuality in movement, its causes and
consequences. Similarly to other well-established personality traits (eg, boldness or …

Temporal autocorrelation: a neglected factor in the study of behavioral repeatability and plasticity
Quantifying individual variation in labile physiological or behavioral traits often involves
repeated measures through time, so as to test for consistency of individual differences (often …

Understanding the unexplained: The magnitude and correlates of individual differences in residual variance
Behavioral and physiological ecologists have long been interested in explaining the causes
and consequences of trait variation, with a focus on individual differences in mean values …

Metabolic scope as a proximate constraint on individual behavioral variation: effects on personality, plasticity, and predictability
Behavioral ecologists have hypothesized that among-individual differences in resting
metabolic rate (RMR) may predict consistent individual differences in mean values for costly …

Quantifying glucocorticoid plasticity using reaction norm approaches: There still is so much to discover!
Hormones are highly responsive internal signals that help organisms adjust their phenotype
to fluctuations in environmental and internal conditions. Our knowledge of the causes and …

Integrating behavioural thermoregulatory strategy into the animal personality framework using the common lizard, Zootoca vivipara as a model
The study of consistent between-individual behavioural variation in single (animal
personality) and across two or more behavioural traits (behavioural syndrome) is a central …
