Animal tracking and biologging devices record large amounts of data on individual
movement behaviors in natural environments. In these data, movement ecologists often view …

Behavioral traits and diet were traditionally thought to be highly plastic within individuals.
This view was espoused in the widespread use of optimality models, which broadly predict …

Recent studies have established the ecological and evolutionary importance of animal
personalities. Individual differences in movement and space‐use, fundamental to many …

Personality-dependent space use and movement might be crucially influencing ecological
interactions, giving way to individual niche specialization. This new approach challenges …

Human exploitation of wild‐living animals has been suggested to create a 'landscape of
fear'. A consequence could be that individuals surviving intensive harvesting, either as a …

Repeatability of behavioural and physiological traits is increasingly a focus for animal
researchers, for which fish have become important models. Almost all of this work has been …

Genetic divergence among populations arises through natural selection or drift and is
counteracted by connectivity and gene flow. In sympatric populations, isolating mechanisms …

Individual repeatability (R), defined as the proportion of observed variance attributable to
among-individual differences, is a widely used summary statistic in evolutionarily motivated …

Change in behaviour is usually the first response to human‐induced environmental change
and key for determining whether a species adapts to environmental change or becomes …

Background There is growing attention to individuality in movement, its causes and
consequences. Similarly to other well-established personality traits (eg, boldness or …
