Abstract Spatial ecology tends to focus on average movement patterns within animal groups; however, recent studies highlight the value of considering decisions both and among individuals. We used a marked population black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus), assess causes consequences within- among-individual differences in chickadee space use. Individuals that feeders addition their most-visited “core feeder” were defined as engaging off-territory feeder found females more likely than...
Historically, spatial ecology studies have focused on average movement patterns within animal groups; however, recent highlight the value of considering decisions both within- and among-individuals. Using a marked population black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus), we used number unique feeders an individual visits our study area as proxy for space use to assess causes consequences among-individual differences in chickadee use. We found that temperature decreased, feeding rate...
