Territory size and age explain movement patterns in the Eurasian beaver
Territoriality is only profitable when the benefits gained from territory exploitation exceed the
costs of defence, and territory sizes are usually optimized by time constraints related to …

Bigger babies are bolder: effects of body size on personality of hatchling snakes
An animal's susceptibility to risk may be partly dependent on its body size. But are larger
individuals bolder? We assessed this question by measuring time to emerge from a shelter …

Predator-driven brain size evolution in natural populations of Trinidadian killifish (Rivulus hartii)
Vertebrates exhibit extensive variation in relative brain size. It has long been assumed that
this variation is the product of ecologically driven natural selection. Yet, despite more than …

Body length rather than routine metabolic rate and body condition correlates with activity and risk‐taking in juvenile zebrafish Danio rerio
In this study, the following hypotheses were explored using zebrafish Danio rerio:(1)
individuals from the same cohort differ consistently in activity and risk‐taking and (2) …

Individual variation in functional response parameters is explained by body size but not by behavioural types in a poeciliid fish
Functional responses are per-capita feeding rate models whose parameters often scale with
individual body size but the parameters may also be further influenced by behavioural traits …

Why did the fish cross the tank? Objectively measuring the value of enrichment for captive fish
M Sullivan, C Lawrence, D Blache - Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2016 - Elsevier
There has been very little research into the enrichment preferences of ornamental fish, even
though there are billions of fish kept in captivity as pets and research animals. We used …

The opposite effects of routine metabolic rate and metabolic rate during startle responses on variation in the predictability of behaviour in hermit crabs
M Velasque, M Briffa - Behaviour, 2016 - brill.com
Studies on animal behaviour have suggested a link between personality and energy
expenditure. However, most models assume constant variation within individuals, even …

Into the wild: developing field tests to examine the link between elasmobranch personality and laterality
The field of animal personality has received considerable attention in past decades, yet few
studies have examined personality in the wild. This study investigated docility, a measure of …

Turning to the larger shoal: are there individual differences in small-and large-quantity discrimination of guppies?
ME Miletto Petrazzini, C Agrillo - Ethology Ecology & Evolution, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
Quantitative ability in non-human animals represents one of the topics most investigated in
cognitive ethology during the last decade. Vertebrates as diverse as mammals, birds and …
