Complex dynamics and development of behavioural individuality

Populations and Evolution 2018-03-23 v1

Abstract

Behavioural differences may arise in the absence of genetic or environmental variation. Chaotic dynamics may influence behavioural development, and so this among-individual variation. We discuss methods and experimental designs to test this idea. Ultimately, nonlinear and chaotic behavioural development may explain much of natural variation.
