Personality differences are a widespread phenomenon throughout the animal kingdom. Past
research has focused on the characterization of such differences and a quest for their …

Trophic relationships are a central theme in ecology and play a crucial role in the survival of
organisms, because the availability of food resources varies over time and space. Until …

Extreme climatic events (ECE s) are predicted to become more frequent as the climate
changes. A rapidly increasing number of studies–though few on animals–suggest that the …

Studies of phenotypic selection document directional selection in many natural populations.
What factors reduce total directional selection and the cumulative evolutionary responses to …

More extreme climatic events (ECEs) are among the most prominent consequences of
climate change. Despite a long-standing recognition of the importance of ECEs by paleo …

Animal-borne sensors enable researchers to remotely track animals, their physiological
state and body movements. Accelerometers, for example, have been used in several studies …

Organisms interact with their environments in various ways. We present a conceptual
framework that distinguishes three mechanisms of organism–environment interaction. We …

Animal populations are often comprised of both foraging specialists and generalists. For
instance, some individuals show higher foraging site fidelity (spatial specialization) than …

Individual variation is increasingly recognized as a central component of ecological
processes, but its role in structuring environmental niche associations remains largely …

Evolutionary rescue, whereby adaptive evolutionary change rescues populations from
extinction, is theorized to enable imperiled animal populations to persist under increasing …
