The ongoing loss of biodiversity caused by rapid climatic shifts requires accurate models for
predicting species' responses. Despite evidence that evolutionary adaptation could mitigate …

Sex differences in life history, physiology, and behavior are nearly ubiquitous across taxa,
owing to sex-specific selection that arises from different reproductive strategies of the sexes …

Cities represent novel environments where altered ecological conditions can generate
strong selection pressures leading to the evolution of specific urban phenotypes. Is there …

Background Interactions between wildlife and humans are increasing. Urban animals are
often less wary of humans than their non-urban counterparts, which could be explained by …

The characterisation and management of deleterious processes affecting wildlife are ideally
based on sound scientific information. However, relevant information is often absent, or …

When mean behaviors correlate among individuals, they form behavioral syndromes. One
way to understand the evolution of such a group-level phenomenon is to compare …

Quantifying the variation in behaviour‐related genes within and between populations
provides insight into how evolutionary processes shape consistent behavioural traits (ie …

Consistency of between-individual differences in behaviour or personality is a phenomenon
in populations that can have ecological consequences and evolutionary potential. One way …

Birds are the best-studied taxa with respect to our knowledge about predation risk
assessment. In the past 4 years, global progress in this field has been made due to a …

There is increasing interest in the genetic and physiological bases of behavioural
differences among individuals, namely animal personality. One particular dopamine (DA) …
