Roll with the fear: environment and state dependence of pill bug (Armadillidium vulgare) personalities
Most studies on animal personality evaluate individual mean behaviour to describe
individual behavioural strategy, while often neglecting behavioural variability on the within …

Behavioral flexibility promotes collective consistency in a social insect
Deciphering the mechanisms that integrate individuals and their behavior into a functional
unit is crucial for our understanding of collective behaviors. We here present empirical …

Differences in prey personality mediate trophic cascades
Functional trait approaches in ecology chiefly assume the mean trait value of a population
adequately predicts the outcome of species interactions. Yet this assumption ignores …

Habitat features and colony characteristics influencing ant personality and its fitness consequences
Several factors can influence individual and group behavioral variation that can have
important fitness consequences. In this study, we tested how two habitat types (seminatural …

Variability in activity differs between castes in the ant Linepithema humile
1. The study of behavioural variability has a long research tradition in social insects.
Because of their contribution to division of labour, between‐individual variations have been …

Habitat structure changes the relationships between predator behavior, prey behavior, and prey survival rates
The individual behavioral traits of predators and prey sometimes determine the outcome of
their interactions. Here, we examine whether changes to habitat complexity alter the effects …

Maternal diet affects juvenile Carpetan rock lizard performance and personality
Differences in both stable and labile state variables are known to affect the emergence and
maintenance of consistent interindividual behavioral variation (animal personality or …

Early social context does not influence behavioral variation at adulthood in ants
Early experience can prepare offspring to adapt their behaviors to the environment they are
likely to encounter later in life. In several species of ants, colonies show ontogenic changes …

Interactions between physiology and behaviour provide insights into the ecological role of venom in Australian funnel-web spiders: Interspecies comparison
Australian funnel-web spiders are iconic species, characterized as being the most
venomous spiders in the world. They are also valued for the therapeutics and natural …

Our own unique character traits make our behavior consistent and define our individuality.
Yet, this consistency does not entail that we behave repetitively like machines. Like humans …
