• Heterogeneous selection on exploration behavior within and among West European populations of a passerine bird 

  Mouchet, Alexia; Cole, Ella F.; Matthysen, Erik; Nicolaus, Marion; Quinn, John L.; Roth, Allison M.; Tinbergen, Joost M.; van Oers, Kees; van Overveld, Thijs; Dingemanse, Niels J. (National Academy of Sciences, 2021-07-13)

  Heterogeneous selection is often proposed as a key mechanism maintaining repeatable behavioral variation (â animal personalityâ ) in wild populations. Previous studies largely focused on temporal variation in selection ...
• Cognition and covariance in the producer-scrounger game 

  Reichert, Michael S.; Morand-Ferron, Julie; Kulahci, Ipek G.; Firth, Josh A.; Davidson, Gabrielle L.; Crofts, Sam J.; Quinn, John L. (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2021-06-05)

  The producer-scrounger game is a key element of foraging ecology in many systems. Producing and scrounging typically covary negatively, but partitioning this covariance into contributions of individual plasticity and ...
• The ecological causes and consequences of hard and soft selection 

  Bell, Donovan A.; Kovach, Ryan P.; Robinson, Zachary L.; Whiteley, Andrew R.; Reed, Thomas E. (Wiley, 2021-04-30)

  Interactions between natural selection and population dynamics are central to both evolutionary-ecology and biological responses to anthropogenic change. Natural selection is often thought to incur a demographic cost that, ...
• Spawning-related movements in a salmonid appear timed to reduce exposure to visually oriented predators 

  Finlay, Ross W.; Poole, Russell; French, Andrew S.; Phillips, Karl P.; Kaufmann, Joshka; Doogan, Aisling; Cotter, Deirdre; McGinnity, Philip; Reed, Thomas E. (Elsevier, 2020-11-07)

  Animals often exhibit extensive flexibility in movement behaviours on a range of temporal and spatial scales in response to cues that reliably predict fitness outcomes. The annual timing of movements between distinct ...
• Metabolic traits in brown trout (Salmo trutta) vary in response to food restriction and intrinsic factors 

  Archer, Louise C.; Hutton, Stephen A.; Harman, Luke; Poole, W. Russell; Gargan, Patrick; McGinnity, Philip; Reed, Thomas E. (Oxford University Press, 2020-10-14)

  Metabolic rates vary hugely within and between populations, yet we know relatively little about factors causing intraspecific variation. Since metabolic rate determines the energetic cost of life, uncovering these sources ...
