• Causes and consequences of individual variability and specialization in foraging and migration strategies of seabirds (2017, background): “Links to population dynamics and conservation An understanding of variation both among and within individuals allows the characterization of populations and has implications for their resilience in the face of environmental change (Nussey et al. 2007).”
• Phenotypic changes in spring arrival: evolution, phenotypic plasticity, effects of weather and condition (2007, background): “One characteristic of phenotypic plasticity is that it is linked to a genotype (like any other phenotypic trait); if there is genetic variation for plasticity in a population, adaptive changes in plasticity are expected (Pigliucci 2001, Nussey et al. 2005, 2007).”
• Fish behavioral types and their ecological consequences (2014, positive): “individuals may differ in their degree of behavioral plasticity, which at the individual level could affect the measurement of personality traits (Nussey et al. 2007; Dingemanse et al. 2010) and at the population level could affect stability and population persistence in response to environmental ch”
• Personality traits in wild starlings: exploration behavior and environmental sensitivity (2009, background): “Although there is a general agreement that such behavioral phenotypic plasticity on an individual level can be crucial in determining the population level response to environmental change (Nussey et al. 2007; Gienapp et al. 2008), some studies find significant individual variation in response (indiv”
• An ecologist's guide to the animal model. (2010, methodology): “If a linear reaction norm is used this technique is equivalent to a 'random slope' model used to test for variation in plasticity (Nussey et al. 2007) and controls for pseudo-replication in behavioural studies (Schielzeth & Forstmeier 2009), but with separate functions included for both the…”
• Energy metabolism and animal personality (2008, background): “At this effect, a reaction norm or random regression approach that allows to compare individual rate of habituation may be useful (Nussey et al. 2007, Réale et al. 2007).”
• Animal personality: what are behavioural ecologists measuring? (2013, methodology): “…to interactionist psychology in behavioural ecology is the behavioural reaction norm (Nussey, Wilson & Brommer, 2007; Dingemanse et al., 2010b) in which individual’s responses to different situations or contexts are modelled using random regressions (Nussey et al., 2007; van de Pol & Wright, 2009).”
• Individual variation in temporal activity patterns in open-field tests (2010, methodology): “minute (an index of proactivity) and the cumulative activity/exploration score will be nega (Nussey et al. 2007; Dingemanse et al. 2010).”
• The evolution of phenotypic plasticity in response to anthropogenic disturbance (2010, background): “Several studies have shown that such variation is indeed often present in natural populations (e.g. Danielson-François et al., 2006; Chun et al., 2007; Etges et al., 2007; Hutchings et al., 2007; Nussey et al., 2007; but see Charmantier et al., 2008).”
• A statistical framework to explore ontogenetic growth variation among individuals and populations: a marine fish example (2015, background): “…growth variation across areas provide insight into the evolutionary processes underlying trait variation, as well as facilitating more nuanced predictions of future response to environmental change (Miner et al. 2005, February 2015 111LONG-TERM FISH GROWTH VARIATION Nussey et al. 2007).”
