behavioural syndromes. Current knowledge of behavioural syndromes in fishes is reviewed …

It is often assumed in experiments and models that social learning abilities–how often
individuals copy others, plus who and how they copy–are species-typical. Yet there is …

In recent years, evidence for interindividual variation in “personality” within animal
populations has been accumulating. Personality is defined as consistency in an individual's …

Individuals of the same species often exhibit consistent differences in metabolic rate, but the
effects of such differences on ecologically important behaviours remain largely unknown. In …

Understanding/predicting ecological invasions is an important challenge in modern ecology
because of their immense economical and ecological costs. Recent studies have revealed …
