Genetic and environmental sources of behavioral individuality: a test of the standard model Open
Behavioral variation is typically assumed to arise from the combination and interaction of genetic and environmental variation. However, recent work with genetically identical individuals has found that substantial behavioral individuality…

MoveTraits – A database for integrating animal behaviour into trait-based ecology Open
Trait-based approaches are key to understanding eco-evolutionary processes but rarely account for animal behaviour despite its central role in ecosystem dynamics. We propose integrating behaviour into trait-based ecology through movement t…

The promise of community-driven preprints in ecology and evolution Open
Publishing preprints is quickly becoming commonplace in ecology and evolutionary biology. Preprints can facilitate the rapid sharing of scientific knowledge establishing precedence and enabling feedback from the research community before p…
A conceptual framework for landscape-based environmental risk assessment (ERA) of pesticides Open
While pesticide use is subject to strict regulatory oversight worldwide, it remains a main concern for environmental protection, including biodiversity conservation. This is partly due to the current regulatory approach that relies on sepa…
Individual flexibility in group foraging behaviour of reef manta rays (Mobula alfredi) Open
Flexibility in animal foraging strategies can increase overall feeding efficiency for individuals. For example, group foraging can increase the efficiency of resource exploitation; conversely solo foraging can reduce intraspecific competit…

The promise of community-driven preprints in ecology and evolution Open
Here, we explore the first preprints uploaded to EcoEvoRxiv to characterise preprint practices in ecology and evolution. We aim to understand: 1) in what countries authors who use EcoEvoRxiv are located; 2) the taxonomic diversity of study…
Drift on holey landscapes as a dominant evolutionary process Open
An organism’s phenotype has been shaped by evolution but the specific processes have to be indirectly inferred for most species. For example, correlations among traits imply the historical action of correlated selection and, more generally…

Nature 4.0: A networked sensor system for integrated biodiversity monitoring Open
Ecosystem functions and services are severely threatened by unprecedented global loss in biodiversity. To counteract these trends, it is essential to develop systems to monitor changes in biodiversity for planning, evaluating, and implemen…
Implementing code review in the scientific workflow: Insights from ecology and evolutionary biology Open
Code review increases reliability and improves reproducibility of research. As such, code review is an inevitable step in software development and is common in fields such as computer science. However, despite its importance, code review i…

Classifying the activity states of small vertebrates using automated <span>VHF</span> telemetry Open
The most basic behavioural states of animals can be described as active or passive. While high‐resolution observations of activity patterns can provide insights into the ecology of animal species, few methods are able to measure the activi…

Phylogenetic conservation of behavioural variation and behavioural syndromes Open
Individuals frequently differ consistently from one another in their average behaviours (i.e. ‘animal personality’) and in correlated suites of consistent behavioural responses (i.e. ‘behavioural syndromes’). However, understanding the evo…
Biologging reveals individual variation in behavioural predictability in the wild Open
Recent research highlights the ecological importance of individual variation in behavioural predictability. Individuals may not only differ in their average expression of a behavioural trait (their behavioural type) and in their ability to…
Behavioural syndromes shape evolutionary trajectories via conserved genetic architecture Open
Behaviours are often correlated within broader syndromes, creating the potential for evolution in one behaviour to drive evolutionary changes in other behaviours. Despite demonstrations that behavioural syndromes are common, this potential…
Integration of intra- and inter-sexual selection signaling Open
Sexual selection can drive the evolution of dramatic morphological and behavioral signals. This selection acts on both specific components of signals and overall signals that combine multiple sources of information. By studying the structu…
Comparing ecological and evolutionary variability within datasets Open
Variance ratios—including heritability, repeatability, and individual resource specialization—are an integral part of evolutionary ecology. Understanding evolutionary and ecological processes, and how these processes may differ among popul…
Social spider boldness repeatability Open
Across animal taxa, many species show behavioural individuality, i.e. repeatable among-individual differences in behaviour. Numerous studies link behavioural individuality to major ecological and evolutionary processes. Here we conceptuali…
Supplementary material from "Behavioural syndromes shape evolutionary trajectories via conserved genetic architecture" Open
Behaviours are often correlated within broader syndromes, creating the potential for evolution in one behaviour to drive evolutionary changes in other behaviours. Despite demonstrations that behavioural syndromes are common, this potential…
The Heritability of Behavior: A Meta-analysis Open
The contribution of genetic variation to phenotypes is a central factor in whether and how populations respond to selection. The most common approach to estimating these influences is via the calculation of heritabilities, which summarize …

Phenotypic integration in an extended phenotype: among‐individual variation in nest‐building traits of the alfalfa leafcutting bee (<i>Megachile rotundata</i>) Open
Structures such as nests and burrows are an essential component of many organisms’ life‐cycle and require a complex sequence of behaviours. Because behaviours can vary consistently among individuals and be correlated with one another, we h…
