Fish behavioral types and their ecological consequences (2014, positive): “Ecologists, behaviorists, and evolutionary biologists have joined together to highlight the importance of studying how environmental heterogeneity and habitat selection may generate and maintain intraspecific variation in populations, including variation in behavioral traits (Adriaenssens and Johnss”

What determines the climatic niche width of species? The role of spatial and temporal climatic variation in three vertebrate clades (2013, methodology): “The WLS ratio is similar to the withinindividual component of the niche divided by the total niche width used in other papers (Bolnick et al., 2002, 2003; Araújo et al., 2011), but refers to localities rather than individuals.”
Microplastics in freshwater fishes: Occurrence, impacts and future perspectives (2021, background): “…loads in individual fish, it does enable information to be developed for populations in relation to their trophic (isotopic) niches (Jackson et al., 2012) and the extent of individual dietary specialization (Araújo et al., 2011), that can be tested against the numbers of MPs recovered from the GIT.”
Individual hunting behaviour and prey specialisation in the house cat Felis catus: Implications for conservation and management (2015, background): “…hirsutus at reintroduction sites in the Tanami Desert of central Australia, and a similar number of cats is thought to have extirpated the endemic wren Traversia lyalli on Stephens Island, New Zealand, within 5 years of their introduction (Atkinson and Bell, 1973; Galbreath and Brown, 2004).”
Behavioural drivers of the ecological roles and importance of marine mammals (2015, background): “In general, there is growing appreciation that individuals within animal populations, sizes and sex classes are often characterized by consistent behavioural differences (‘individual specialization’ Bolnick et al. 2003, Araùjo et al. 2011).”
Characterizing trophic ecology of generalist consumers: a case study of the invasive lionfish in The Bahamas (2012, background): “One of the reasons for lionfish’s apparent success, and associated detrimental impacts, is their voracious predatory nature, and ability to exploit a wide range of prey (Morris & Akins 2009, Barbour et al. 2010, Côté & Maljkovic 2010, Jud et al. 2011, Muñoz et al. 2011).”
The Multidimensional Stoichiometric Niche (2017, background): “Such approaches could also be applied to explore individual specialization (Bolnick et al., 2002; Araujo et al., 2011), and to assess how populations and different genotypes vary in their fitness within a multidimensional stoichiometric space (Leal et al.”
Niche Breadth: Causes and Consequences for Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation (2020, methodology): “Similarly, population-level NB could be composed of individuals with similar NB to that of the collective population, individuals with narrow NB and divergent optima, or some combination of these two extremes (e.g., Sultan and Bazzaz 1993a,b,c; Araújo et al. 2011; Bolnick et al. 2011).”
Applying stable isotopes to examine food‐web structure: an overview of analytical tools (2012, background): “…simulations Another research area that has developed rapidly in recent years has been examining incidence and causes of individual specialization, i.e. variation in resource use among individuals that is not attributable to age class, size or sex (Araújo et al., 2011; Bolnick et al., 2003, 2011).”
