Animal personality, consistent individual differences in behaviour, is an important concept
for understanding how individuals vary in how they cope with environmental challenges. In …

As environmental fluctuations are becoming more common, organisms need to rapidly adapt
to anthropogenic, climatic, and ecological changes. Epigenetic modifications and DNA …

Species with a circannual life cycle need to match the timing of their life history events to the
environment to maximize fitness. However, our understanding of how circannual traits such …

The environment experienced during early life is a crucial factor in the life of many
organisms. This early life environment has been shown to have profound effects on …

Early developmental conditions are known to have life-long effects on an individual's
behavior, physiology and fitness. In altricial birds, a majority of these conditions, such as the …

Anthropogenic climate change has led to globally increasing temperatures at an
unprecedented pace and, to persist, wild species have to adapt to their changing world. We …

This research addresses the influence of a changing organisational context and the big five
personality traits on the three main characterising elements of a burnout. A computational …

The profiling of epigenetic marks like DNA methylation has become a central aspect of
studies in evolution and ecology. Bisulphite sequencing is commonly used for assessing …

Quantifying the relative importance of genomic and epigenomic modulators of phenotype is
a focal challenge in comparative physiology, but progress is constrained by availability of …
