IN THE FIELD - ANIMAL PERSONALITY

🐊 Behind sharp teeth, there’s more than instinct.
Animal personality describes consistent behavioural differences between individuals.
With EvOCRO, we study whether these differences affect how crocodiles learn and adapt. www.instagram.com/p/DTOG1hxFqGO/

Fig. 5 from the article: Associations between disturbance and (a) chick weight (g) and (b) chick tarsus length (mm). Black dots represent raw brood means. Lines and standard error are derived from the linear mixed model.

NEW PAPER: Human disturbance and birds: recreational activities do not predict nest box occupancy in great tits, but individuals nesting in disturbed areas are more exploratory and have lower fitness.

Congratulations Selin! So proud and a big thanks to @bou.org.uk and those who voted 🙏

Selin showed how slower exploring Red Knots departed earlier from artic breeding sites and were more likely to fly non-stop to the Wadden Sea than faster exploring individuals. #movementecology #animalpersonality

Associations between human non‐motorised recreational activity on nest box occupation, exploratory behaviour and breeding success in a passerine bird Anthropomorphic activities have a large impact on ecosystems in many ways, one of which is how animals behave. Non-motorised nature recreation is a popular human activity of which the impacts on natu...

New research article! 📰

Jardim et al. studied personality in H. striatula ants, finding low repeatability in behaviors and no evidence of behavioral syndromes. 🐜

We found no effect of these #multistressors on any measure of feeding motivation. But we did find a strong effect of #animalpersonality variation, which was unlikely explained by body size or sex.
