NSF - NERC Grant: Integrating Individual Personality Differences in the Evolutionary Ecology of a Seabird in the Rapidly Changing Polar Environment
-
Start data early new year
-
Team - Stephanie Jenouvrier, Woods Hole, Henri Weimerskirch, Christophe Barbraud, CNRS Chize, Anne Charmantier, CNRS- Montpellier

Main project goals:
1. understand the link between phenotypic plasticity in foraging effort and personality, the genetic drivers and the coevolution of these traits - This post Doc
2. characterize the life history strategies along the shy-bold continuum of personalities and across environmental conditions - This Post doc and Post doc at Woods Hole
3. develop a stochastic eco-evolutionary model to understand and forecast the distribution of individuals along the shy-bold continuum within the population and the resulting effect on population growth rate in a changing environment by integrating processes from goals 1 and 2 - Post doc at Woods Hole
