Demystifying animal 'personality'(or not): why individual variation matters to experimental biologists
Animal 'personality', defined as repeatable inter-individual differences in behaviour, is a
concept in biology that faces intense controversy. Critics argue that the field is riddled with …

The covariance between metabolic rate and behaviour varies across behaviours and thermal types: meta‐analytic insights
Energy metabolism has received much attention as a potential driver of repeatable among‐
individual differences in behaviour (animal personality). Several factors have been …

Climate resilience in marine protected areas and the 'Protection Paradox'
Restricting human activities through Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) is assumed to create
more resilient biological communities with a greater capacity to resist and recover following …

Personality, density and habitat drive the dispersal of invasive crayfish
There is increasing evidence that personality traits may drive dispersal patterns of animals,
including invasive species. We investigated, using the widespread signal crayfish …

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 …

Repeatability of glucocorticoid hormones in vertebrates: a meta-analysis
We often expect that investigations of the patterns, causes, and consequences of among-
individual variation in a trait of interest will reveal how selective pressures or ecological …

Relationship between boldness and exploratory behavior in adult zebrafish
CP Dos Santos, MN de Oliveira, PF Silva… - Behavioural …, 2023 - Elsevier
Behavioral responses vary between individuals and may be repeated in different contexts
over time. When a behavioral response set is linked and present regardless of the context, it …

Predation and parasitism as determinants of animal personalities
Within the same population, proactive (ie bolder, more exploratory, active and aggressive)
and reactive (ie more timid, less exploratory, less active and more passive) individuals could …

Thermal preference predicts animal personality in Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus
Environmental temperature gradients provide habitat structure in which fish orientate and
individual thermal choice may reflect an essential integrated response to the environment …

Bioenergetics‐adverse outcome pathway: Linking organismal and suborganismal energetic endpoints to adverse outcomes
Adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) link toxicity across levels of biological organization, and
thereby facilitate the development of suborganismal responses predictive of whole …
