Amphibious fishes transition between aquatic and terrestrial habitats, and must therefore
learn to navigate two dramatically different environments. We used the amphibious killifish …

Evidence of animal personality and behavioral syndromes is widespread across animals,
yet the development of these traits remains poorly understood. Previous research has …

Moral formation begins with the personality of the individual and the environmental factors
around the individual. Consequently, an individual's propensity to be good or bad depends …

Individual variation in fearfulness can be modified during ontogeny, and high levels of fear
can affect animal welfare. We asked whether early-life environmental complexity and …

Background The classic optimal foraging theory (OFT) predicts animals' food patch use
assuming that individuals in a population use the same strategy while foraging. However …

Individual processes scale up: these are the unique phenotypes that undergo selection,
constitute populations, interact with other species, and thus shape biological reality …

Understanding the space use of fishes in early life stages provides information that can
contribute to effective fisheries management; however, it can be difficult to track fish in …

Simple Summary Scratching can help animals find more buried food and thus is an
important food-searching behaviour for ground-feeding birds such as gamebirds. Due to the …

Simple Summary Morphological changes in early life stages may have a strong influence on
animal personalities in adulthood, which describe inter-individual differences and intra …

Simple Summary Population density is a prevalent environmental factor that influences
animal behavior, yet its impact on the formation of animal personality remains largely …
