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

Background Plastic responses of plants to the environment are ubiquitous. Phenotypic
plasticity occurs in many forms and at many biological scales, and its adaptive value …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Species are the unit of analysis in many global change and conservation biology studies;
however, species are not uniform entities but are composed of different, sometimes locally …

Nakagawa & Schielzeth extended the widely used goodness‐of‐fit statistic R2 to apply to
generalized linear mixed models (GLMM s). However, their R2 GLMM method is restricted to …

An exciting area in behavioural ecology focuses on understanding why animals exhibit
consistent among-individual differences in behaviour (animal personalities). Animal …

Plant biology is experiencing a renewed interest in the mechanistic underpinnings and
evolution of phenotypic plasticity that calls for a re‐evaluation of how we analyse phenotypic …

Much research has been devoted to identify the conditions under which selection favours
flexible individuals or genotypes that are able to modify their growth, development and …

Growing interest in proximate and ultimate causes and consequences of between‐and
within‐individual variation in labile components of the phenotype–such as behaviour or …

The discovery that an individual may be constrained, and even behave sub‐optimally,
because of its personality type has fundamental implications for understanding individual‐to …
