每个人的行为往往不同。这一点自古以来就得到了承认。然而，这种变化的生态和进化意义正在引起广泛的兴趣，这是蓬勃发展的程度，是支离破碎的文献。作为综合的第一次尝试，我们关注的是人群中行为的个体差异，这些差异超过了个体行为的日常变化（即行为专业化）。事实上，促进自然种群内生态相关行为专业化的因素可能会产生深远的生态和进化后果。我们从三个不同的角度讨论了这种个体差异：个体生态位专业化，分工昆虫社会和动物的个性变化。在这个过程中，虽然认识到每个领域都有自己独特的动机，但我们在（基本上独立的）工作机构中发现了一些富有成效的“交叉施肥”机会。我们的结论是，一个完整的理解进化和生态相关的个体差异，必须指定生态相互作用如何影响基本的生物过程（如达尔文的选择，发展和信息处理），支持生物特征决定行为专业化。此外，行为专业之间可能存在协变。因此，我们勾勒出一个研究个体差异的进化生态学的一般框架的关键要素。
Individuals often differ in what they do. This has been recognised since antiquity. Nevertheless, the ecological and evolutionary significance of such variation is attracting widespread interest, which is burgeoning to an extent that is fragmenting the literature. As a first attempt at synthesis, we focus on individual differences in behaviour within populations that exceed the day-to-day variation in individual behaviour (i.e. behavioural specialisation). Indeed, the factors promoting ecologically relevant behavioural specialisation within natural populations are likely to have far-reaching ecological and evolutionary consequences. We discuss such individual differences from three distinct perspectives: individual niche specialisations, the division of labour within insect societies and animal personality variation. In the process, while recognising that each area has its own unique motivations, we identify a number of opportunities for productive ‘crossfertilisation’ among the (largely independent) bodies of work. We conclude that a complete understanding of evolutionarily and ecologically relevant individual differences must specify how ecological interactions impact the basic biological process (e.g. Darwinian selection, development and information processing) that underpin the organismal features determining behavioural specialisations. Moreover, there is likely to be covariation amongst behavioural specialisations. Thus, we sketch the key elements of a general framework for studying the evolutionary ecology of individual differences.
