.... However, few studies have investigated inter-individual variation in these traits and more specifically have attempted to understand the drivers of variation in these traits. Associations of anatomical features may be excellent predictors of variation in performance and could be targets for selection...

...Xianpeng Su; Yunfei Sun; Dapeng Liu; Fang Wang; Jingjing Liu; Boshan Zhu ABSTRACT The metabolism and behaviour of crustaceans are highly flexible, and the inter-individual variation in these traits is evolutionarily and ecologically significant. We analysed the relationships among personality...

...Sheng Liu; Shi-Jian Fu ABSTRACT Metabolism, behaviour and growth are highly flexible in fish species, and inter-individual variation in these traits is evolutionarily and ecologically significant. It has long been suggested that these traits co-vary, although their relationships are debated...

... scavenging) and tissue contents of organic osmolytes were obtained from gill tissue of each individual. Univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that inter-individual variation in cumulative thermal stress is a predominant driver of physiological variation. Thermal history over the outplant period...

.... However, the extent to which variation in VTG/VLDL-R expression plays a role in determining inter-individual variation in reproductive phenotype(e.g. follicle or egg size) is not known. Here we show that the mRNA sequence of the zebra finch ( Taeniopygia guttata ) VTG/VLDL-R shows a high degree...
