Concepts

A method used to quantify social relationships that not only quantifies the direct relationship between a focal individual and its social partners, but also describes the position of the focal individ...

Statistical approach that includes individual identity as a random effect linked to a pedigree to estimate additive genetic variance

The allocation of time among different activities that determines overall energy expenditure patterns

A method to partition variance in population growth rate into contributions arising from temporal covariances of demographic parameters at different time lags

Ecological research projects that follow individuals or systems over extended periods, often spanning decades

Approach where multiple distributed sensors work together to achieve better performance than individual sensors

Statistical model allowing phenotypic correlations between traits to vary continuously with environmental predictors

The practice of making research data publicly available for verification and reuse

Sampling methods that do not require capturing or handling animals, such as hair tube traps that collect hair samples

An analytical approach where deviations from an individual's average behavior or phenotype are calculated to quantify and analyze how an individual's social phenotype may change over time.

Experimental design where seeds from broad elevational gradient planted into four common gardens in four treatments

Extension of the Lande-Arnold selection analysis using partial regression to partition selection among levels

Ecological and life history traits that determine a bird species response to extreme meteorological events and vary with elevation

Applied ecology approach to managing wild animal populations, including use of repellents to control animal damage
