Journal ArticleDOI
Capacity for thermal acclimation differs between populations and phylogenetic lineages within a species
Frank Seebacher,Sebastian P. Holmes,Nicholas J. Roosen,Morgane Nouvian,Robbie S. Wilson,Ashley J. W. Ward +5 more
TL;DR: It is argued that analysis of the impacts of climate change and other environmental variability should be resolved to a population level after it was shown that populations are divided into distinct genetic lineages and that populations within lineages have distinct genetic identities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Personality affects the foraging response of a mammalian herbivore to the dual costs of food and fear
TL;DR: It is suggested that high plant defence effectively attenuates differences in foraging behaviour arising from variation in personality, but poorly defended plants in safe areas should be differentially subject to herbivory depending on the personality of the herbivore.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shoaling behaviour of sticklebacks infected with the microsporidian parasite, Glugea anomala
TL;DR: The shoaling behaviour of three-spined sticklebacks infected with the microsporidian is compared to that of non-infected conspecifics to consider the behavioural differences between infected and uninfected fish in the context of their potential benefits to the fish hosts and the parasites.
Book ChapterDOI
Social aggregation in the pelagic zone with special reference to fish and invertebrates.
TL;DR: It is speculated that climate change, already having effects on ecosystems, could have dramatic effects on aggregations through its influence on species composition by altering distribution ranges, migration patterns, vertical migration, and oceanic acidity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Habitat-Specific Morphological Variation among Threespine Sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) within a Drainage Basin
Mike M. Webster,Nicola Atton,Nicola Atton,Paul J. B. Hart,Ashley J. W. Ward,Ashley J. W. Ward +5 more
TL;DR: This study used landmark based morphometric analyses to investigate morphological variation among threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus L.) from four interconnected habitat types within a single lowland drainage basin in eastern England, finding significant habitat-specific differences in morphology.
