The role of behavior in evolution: a search for mechanism (2008, background): “Recent studies show that behaviors are often highly repeatable when assessed in response to an identical stimulus (Dingemanse et al. 2002; Schwagmeyer and Mock 2003; Forstmeier and Birkhead 2004; Duckworth 2006a), highly consistent when measured across contexts (Dall et al. 2004; Sih et al. 2004;…”
The repeatability of behaviour: a meta-analysis (2009, background): “…to compare repeatability across ages (Bakker 1986; Masters et al. 1995; Battley 2006 Missoweit et al. 2007), sexes (Dingemanse et al. 2002; Schwagmeyer & Mock 2003; Nakagawa et al. 2007), locations (Howard & Young 1998; Kolluru 1999), intervals (Allen 1998) or treatments (Spencer &…”
Negotiation over offspring care—how should parents respond to each other's efforts? (2006, unknown): “If, for instance, brood need varies from one breeding attempt to the next (e.g., due to variation in clutch size) to a greater extent than does a parent’s state, high repeatability suggests that variation in individual parental ability is substantial compared with variation in need, whereas low repe”
Neglected biological patterns in the residuals (2011, background): “…example, studies looking at the parental care behaviour of the house sparrow (Passer domesticus) have shown that there is more variation in the provisioning rate of females than of males (Schwagmeyer and Mock 2003; Nakagawa et al. 2007a), which could cause heteroscedasticity in the model errors.”
