Individual variation and the challenge hypothesis

open access: yesHormones and Behavior, 2020
In this paper I discuss how the challenge hypothesis (Wingfield et al., 1990) influenced the development of ideas about animal personality, and describe particularly promising areas for future study at the intersection of these two topics. I argue that the challenge hypothesis influenced the study of animal personality in at least three specific ways ...

Personality as a Predictor of Time-Activity Budget in Lion-Tailed Macaques (Macaca silenus)

open access: yesAnimals, 2022
Time-activity budget, i.e., how a population or an individual divides their day into various behaviours and activities, is an important ecological aspect.

Influence of the microbiome, diet and genetics on inter-individual variation in the human plasma metabolome

open access: yesNature Medicine, 2022
The levels of the thousands of metabolites in the human plasma metabolome are strongly influenced by an individual’s genetics and the composition of their diet and gut microbiome.

Mouse spontaneous behavior reflects individual variation rather than estrous state

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2023
Summary Behavior is shaped by both the internal state of an animal and its individual behavioral biases. Rhythmic variation in gonadal hormones during the estrous cycle is a defining feature of female internal state, one that regulates many aspects of ...

Inter-individual variation in human cortical cell type abundance and expression

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2022
Single cell transcriptomic studies have identified a conserved set of neocortical cell types from small post-mortem cohorts. We extend these efforts by assessing cell type variation across 75 adult individuals undergoing epilepsy and tumor surgeries ...

That’s Cool. Computational Sociolinguistic Methods for Investigating Individual Lexico-grammatical Variation

open access: yesFrontiers in Artificial Intelligence, 2021
The present study deals with variation in the use of lexico-grammatical patterns and emphasizes the need to embrace individual variation. Targeting the pattern that’s adj (as in that’s right, that’s nice or that’s okay) as a case study, we use a tailor ...

The dynamics of variation in individuals [PDF]

open access: yesLinguistic Variation, 2016
This paper examines the factors conditioning the production of linguistic variables in real time by individual speakers: what we term thedynamics of variation in individuals. We propose a framework that recognizes three types of factors conditioning variation: sociostylistic, internal linguistic, and psychophysiological.

The impact of individual variation on abrupt collapses in mutualistic networks

open access: yesEcology Letters, 2021
Individual variation is central to species involved in complex interactions with others in an ecological system. Such ecological systems could exhibit tipping points in response to changes in the environment, consequently leading to abrupt transitions to

Individual variation, personality, and the ability of animals to cope with climate change

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The Sixth Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change describes negative effects of climate change on animals occurring on a larger scale than previously appreciated.
