Open AccessA role for lakes in revealing the nature of animal movement using high dimensional telemetry systems
Movement ecology is increasingly relying on experimental approaches and hypothesis testing to reveal how, when, where, why, and which animals move. Movement of megafauna is inherently interesting but many of t...

Sex-dependent personality in two invasive species of mosquitofish
A key challenge in invasion biology is identifying characteristics that allow some species to be repeatedly successful at invading novel environments. Invasions can often be disproportionately driven by a sing...

Does range expansion modify trait covariation? A study of a northward expanding dragonfly
The adaptive value of correlations among phenotypic traits depends on the prevailing environmental conditions. Differences in selection pressures during species range expansions may therefore shape phenotypic ...

Larval behavioral syndrome does not affect emergence behavior in a damselfly (Lestes congener)
Activity is a key behavioral trait that often mediates a trade-off between finding food for growth and evading predation. We investigated how activity of the damselfly Lestes congener is affected by larval state ...

Behavioural and life history effects of predator diet cues during ontogeny in damselfly larvae
A central issue in predator–prey interactions is how predator associated chemical cues affect the behaviour and life history of prey. In this study, we investigated how growth and behaviour during ontogeny of ...
