A statistical framework to explore ontogenetic growth variation among individuals and populations: a marine fish example (2015, background): “…as well as other situations where the underlying data is hierarchical, e.g., life history parameters, Clutton-Brock and Sheldon (2010); dendrochronology, Leites et al. (2012); animal behavior, Dingemanse and Dochtermann (2013); and fisheries, Hagen and Quinn (1991), Sinclair et al. (2002a).”
An empiricist guide to animal personality variation in ecology and evolution (2014, background): “For example, to ask questions such as how does an individual’s pattern of exploratory behavior change when it is: (a) with its sexual partner; (b) amongst a group of familiar conspecifics; (c) unfamiliar conspecifics; (d) a potential new sexual partner?”
Glucocorticoid-Mediated Phenotypes in Vertebrates : Multilevel Variation and Evolution (2016, methodology): “Because these topics have been discussed in detail elsewhere (Biro, 2012; Dall & Griffith, 2014; Dingemanse & Dochtermann, 2013; Lema & Kitano, 2013; Réale, Dingemanse, Kazem, & Wright, 2010), here we briefly introduce these themes and then focus on GCbehavior relationships in the context of…”
Development of boldness and docility in yellow-bellied marmots (2013, methodology): “…or stability, between juvenile, yearling and adult behaviours at the individual level, we fitted trivariate mixed models (i.e. three dependent variables with multiple fixed and random effects; Dingemanse & Dochtermann 2013) for each behaviour, considering each age class as a different trait.”
Animal personality and pace-of-life syndromes: do fast-exploring fairy-wrens die young? (2015, methodology): “Estimates of within-individual covariance are not reliable for non-Gaussian distributions (Dingemanse and Dochtermann, 2013)—and not shown for binary variables where the variance was fixed at 1.”
Pace-of-life syndromes: a framework for the adaptive integration of behaviour, physiology and life history (2018, background): “2000), but it can be extended to the study of any type of association or syndrome (Dingemanse and Dochtermann 2013; Santostefano et al. 2017).”
Individual differences in searching behaviour and spatial foraging consistency in a central place marine predator (2014, background): “However recent work has suggested that these two components can be partitioned, isolating non-random association with environmental conditions and plasticity in searching response simultaneously (Dingemanse and Dochtermann 2013).”
On the usage of single measurements in behavioural ecology research on individual differences (2018, background): “…(called behavioural syndromes when applied to two behaviours) versus how changes in traits are correlated within individuals across subsequent measurements (plasticity integration; Dingemanse & Dochtermann, 2013; Dingemanse, Dochtermann, & Nakagawa, 2012; Dochtermann & Dingemanse, 2013).”
Individual heterogeneity and capture–recapture models: what, why and how? (2018, background): “Oikos © 2017 Nordic Society Oikos OIKOS personality (Dingemanse and Dochtermann 2013), in genotype (Coulson et al. 2011), in habitat use or habitat selection such as home range size or quality (Mcloughlin et al. 2007), or in prey selection (Estes et al. 2003) have all been reported to affect most…”
