Unifying individual differences in personality, predictability and plasticity: a practical guide
Organisms use labile traits to respond to different conditions over short time‐scales. When a
population experiences the same conditions, we might expect all individuals to adjust their …

Sex differences in the predictability of risk-taking behavior
Recent research has found that individuals often vary in how consistently they express their
behavior over time (ie, behavioral predictability) and suggested that these individual …

Behavioural ecology meets oncology: quantifying the recovery of animal behaviour to a transient exposure to a cancer risk factor
Wildlife is increasingly exposed to sublethal transient cancer risk factors, including
mutagenic substances, which activates their anti-cancer defences, promotes …

Multilevel repeatability shows selection may act on both personality and predictability, but neither is state dependent
Highlights•Few studies assess repeatability of individual predictability (residual
variance).•We report moderate repeatability of predictability in Armadillidium …

Temperature change exerts sex-specific effects on behavioural variation
Temperature is a key factor mediating organismal fitness and has important consequences
for species' ecology. While the mean effects of temperature on behaviour have been well …

The evolutionary ecology of variation in labile traits: selection on its among-and within-individual components
Closer integration between behavioral ecology and quantitative genetics has resulted in a
recent increase in studies partitioning sources of variation in labile traits. Repeatable …

Condition dependence of (un) predictability in escape behavior of a grasshopper species
G Winter, L Wirsching, H Schielzeth - Behavioral Ecology, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Abstract (Un) predictability has only recently been recognized as an important dimension of
animal behavior. Currently, we neither know if (un) predictability encompasses one or …

Individual (co) variation in locomotor activity, temporal plasticity, and predictability within a novel environment
N Kermany, JGA Martin, V Careau - Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2023 - Springer
An important yet largely overlooked aspect of behavioral variation is that some individuals
are consistently less “predictable” than others. Predictability is the level of variance that …
