Behavioral traits and diet were traditionally thought to be highly plastic within individuals.
This view was espoused in the widespread use of optimality models, which broadly predict …

Circadian rhythms can be entrained to periodic cues in the environment including the solar
day, food resources, and temperature. Work on a variety of organisms has suggested that …

The structure of dominance relationships among individuals in a population is known to
influence their fitness, access to resources, risk of predation, and even energy budgets …

Among mammals, female reproduction is generally thought to be food limited, and
dominance should theoretically afford high-ranking females with access to better food …

Structural complexity is known to influence prey behaviour, mortality and population
structure, but the effects on predators have received less attention. We tested whether …

Dominance hierarchies are known for mitigating conflicts and guiding priority of access to
limited resources in gregarious animals. The dominance hierarchy of dairy cows is typically …

The first telemetry study analysing behaviour of the largest freshwater predator in European
rivers, Silurus glanis, was performed bimonthly during the years 2002–2004. Movement of …

Unregulated rivers provide unobstructed corridors for the dispersal of both native and
invasive species. We sought to evaluate range size and habitat use of an invasive species …

The mobility patterns of two native species, barbel, Barbus barbus (L.) and chub, Squalius
cephalus (L.), and of one non‐native fish species, the catfish Silurus glanis (L.), were …

Abstract In the Gulf of Lion (NW Mediterranean), fish species such as gilthead sea bream
Sparus aurata, European seabass Dicentrarchus labrax, and salema Sarpa salpa show …
