Intraspecific variation in environmental and geographic space use: insights from individual movement data
… each species, but there is growing evidence for individual variation. Here, I use movement data to investigate individual-level decisions and compromises regarding the different costs and benefits influencing individuals’ geographic locations, and the species-level spatial patterns that emerge …

The Life History of Damaraland Mole-rats Fukomys damarensis: Growth, Ageing and Behaviour
… because few studies of mole-rats have quantified individual variation in growth and behaviour across long periods of development, it has remained unclear the extent to which mole-rat societies, and the features of individuals within them, should be considered unique amongst social vertebrates. In …

Ecological and molecular basis of differential resource use in populations of burying beetles Nicrophorus vespilloides
… which costly competition can be avoided is via individual specialisation, i.e., the persistence of specialised individuals within a generalist population that utilise a smaller subset of the entire population’s resource base. This could occur through the evolution of genetic morphs that …
