Biomimetic robots that replace living social interaction partners can help elucidate the
underlying interaction rules in animal groups. Our review focuses on the use of interactive …

The pace-of-life syndrome (POLS) is a framework that attempts to explain empirically
observed covariation between physiological, behavioral, and life history traits, whereby …

Animal behaviour is increasingly recognised as critical to the prediction of non-native
species success and impacts. Rainbow trout and brown trout have been introduced globally …

Abstract Changes in environmental conditions can shift the costs and benefits of
aggregation or interfere with the sensory perception of near neighbors. This affects group …

Biological invasions are considered the second major cause of plant, amphibian, reptile,
and mammal loss worldwide. Like islands, freshwater ecosystems are especially susceptible …

The ability of an individual to predict the outcome of the actions of others and to change their
own behavior adaptively is called anticipation. There are many examples from mammalian …

Climate change and biological invasions are two of the major threats to biodiversity. They
could act synergistically to the detriment of natives as non-native species may be more …

Invasive species are one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. Behavioral traits are
recognized as key to promote individual's survival in changing conditions. For social species …

Behaviours can be adaptively correlated with each other and with other aspects of
phenotype. We investigated behaviour across foraging, mating, and risk contexts in females …

There is evidence that animal personality can affect sexual selection, with studies reporting
that male behavioural types are associated with success during pre-and post-copulatory …
