Unpredictable animals: individual differences in intraindividual variability (IIV)
Stamps, J. A., M. Briffa, and P. A. Biro.
Animal Behaviour 83:1325-1334, 2012
“A conceptual outline for how and why we should study unpredictability across individuals (individual differences in residual variation), and demonstration of individual differences in predictability in fish and crabs after accounting for behavioral changes over time. Suggestion that predictability might be an underappreciated aspect of animal personality„

Changes in marine dinoflagellate and diatom abundance under climate change
Hinder SL, Hays GC, Edwards M, Roberts EC, Walne AW, Gravenor MB
Nature Climate Change 2, 271–275 (2012)
“Revealed a dramatic shift over the last 50y at the base of the food chain in the North Atlantic from dinoflagellates to diatoms driven by the additive impact of warming and increasingly windy conditions. This importance of changing wind patterns was previously largely ignored„

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology 65: 13-21, 2011
“The field of ecology has seen enormous changes in statistical methodology in recent years, not least in the application of model selection (i.e. identifying what combination of variables best describes variation in a particular trait) using information theory. However, there was no easy novice level ‘how to’ introduction to the topic. This paper has filled that role and helped many researchers to embrace these new statistical methodologies„

Biro, P. A. and J. A. Stamps
Trends in Ecology & Evolution 25:653-659, 2010
“Introduces new conceptual theory outlining how and why behavioural traits should consistently differ across individuals due to functional links between behavior and metabolism. We review the literature for evidence of the predicted associations, and suggest future research needs„

“First study to show that commercial fishing tends to selectively remove the most active and bold genotypes from fish populations, which grow faster, suggesting rapid evolutionary impacts of harvest. Study was conducted using multiple small lakes that were seeded with known populations of two genotypes of trout, a fast growing bold strain and a shy slow growing strain„
