Animal tracking and biologging devices record large amounts of data on individual
movement behaviors in natural environments. In these data, movement ecologists often view …

Within populations, individuals often show repeatable variation in behaviour, called 'animal
personality'. In the last few decades, numerous empirical studies have attempted to …

The artificial selection of traits in wildlife populations through hunting and fishing has been
well documented. However, despite their rising popularity, the role that artificial selection …

Perceived predation risk varies in space and time creating a landscape of fear. This key
feature of an animal's environment is classically studied as a species‐specific property …

Heterogeneous selection is often proposed as a key mechanism maintaining repeatable
behavioral variation (“animal personality”) in wild populations. Previous studies largely …

Small mammals are key scatter hoarders in forest ecosystems, acting as both seed
predators and dispersers. The outcome of their interactions (ie, predation vs. dispersal) is …

Despite numerous studies examining the fitness consequences of animal personalities,
predictions concerning the relationship between personality and survival are not consistent …

Density dependence plays an important role in population regulation in the wild. It involves a
decrease in population growth rate when the population size increases. Fifty years ago …

Individual niche specialization can have important consequences for competition, fitness,
and, ultimately, population dynamics and ecological speciation. The temporal window and …

Senescence is defined as the general deterioration of the organism (ie physiology,
morphology, reproduction), and is associated with increasing mortality and decreasing …
