Rates of mass gain and energy deposition in red knot on their final spring staging site is both time‐ and condition‐dependent (2007, background): “Alternatively, there may be other costs associated with fuelling at a high rate, such as increased energetic costs and reduced vigilance leading to increased predation risk (Brodin 2001; MacLeod et al. 2005a, MacLeod et al. 2005b ), or reduced manoeuvrability of high mass birds leading to increased”
Personality in captivity reflects personality in the wild (2010, methodology): “On first capture, each birdwas fitted with a unique passively integrated transponder (‘PIT’ tag; 11.5 mm " 2.1 mm, <0.1 g, Trovan Unique) attached to a plastic leg ring with Araldite glue (as in Macleod et al. 2005).”
All together now: behavioural synchrony in baboons. (2009, background): “Variation in energetic state among group members is also likely to be smallest in the early morning when all individuals are hungry irrespective of identity (Macleod et al. 2005).”
Personality predicts behavioral flexibility in a fluctuating, natural environment (2014, background): “These activities not only increase body reserves, providing a buffer against starvation, but also incur costs in terms of increased exposure to predators while foraging and increased mass-specific predation risk (Metcalfe and Ure 1995; Macleod et al. 2005).”
