While direct influences of the environment on population growth and resilience are well
studied, indirect routes linking environmental changes to population consequences are less …

Both individual and group behavior can influence individual fitness, but multilevel selection
is rarely quantified on social behaviors. Social networks provide a unique opportunity to …

Freshwater ecosystems appear more vulnerable to biodiversity loss due to several
anthropogenic disturbances and freshwater fish are particularly vulnerable to these impacts …

Across animal systems, abiotic environmental features, including timing of seasonal events
and weather patterns, affect fitness. An individual's degree of social integration also has …

Dispersal is an important individual decision which may influence individual fitness as well
as population viability. The social cohesion hypothesis posits more social individuals remain …

The extent the evolution of sociality was shaped by multilevel selection–a theoretical
framework for natural selection occurring at levels of biological organization other than the …

The degree to which phenotypes are shaped by multilevel selection-the theoretical
framework proposing natural selection occurs at more than one level of biological …

Abstract Information about the environment is essential for making appropriate behavioural
decisions, especially for animals that are exposed to periods of greater environmental …
