Individuals show consistent between-individual behavioural variation when they interact
with conspecifics or heterospecifics. Such patterns might underlie emergent group-specific …

Reproduction is costly. Despite this, evidence suggests that parents sometimes feed
unrelated offspring. Several hypotheses could explain this puzzling phenomenon. Adults …

The stress response helps individuals cope with challenges, yet how individual stress levels
shape group-level processes and the behaviour of other group members has rarely been …

Technological advances continue to push the boundaries of scientific inquiry in animal
behavior. One such development is the emergence of automated tracking systems, which …
