Complex dynamics and development of behavioural individuality
David N Fisher, Matthew Brachmann, Joseph B Burant
TL;DR
This paper explores how chaotic and nonlinear dynamics in behavioural development can lead to individual differences, even without genetic or environmental variation, and discusses methods to test this hypothesis.
Contribution
It introduces the idea that chaotic dynamics may explain behavioural individuality and proposes experimental approaches to investigate this phenomenon.
Findings
Chaotic dynamics can influence behavioural development.
Nonlinear development may account for natural behavioural variation.
Methods for testing chaos in behaviour are discussed.
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.
