Sequential behavior seems to be involved in the processes of sequential learning, decision-making processes, and exploratory behavior. There are, however, competing hypotheses regarding the mechanisms involved in the complexity of the behavioral responses of organisms when exposed to changing environments. The behavioral response to different environmental conditions is often utilized in behavioral ecology studies, where the changes in behavior are quantified in terms of probability of dispersal, distance, and speed of movements or time budget, where the time spent on different activities (foraging, resting, explore, etc.) is registered and analyzed in terms of cost-benefit. This book represents a series of articles covering a broad spectrum of organisms and proposes the analysis of sequential behavior utilizing indices commonly applied in the estimation of developmental instability (fluctuating asymmetry, directional asymmetry, and antisymmetry) toward estimating the degree of "Behavioral Instability". Deviations from symmetry will be interpreted in ecological and evolutionary terms, where the cost and benefits of changes of the degree of behavioral instability will be analyzed in terms of overall costs and benefits and its evolutionary significance. Presented in this collection are multidisciplinary studies (theoretical and computational as well as experimental and empirical approaches) that validate the proposed approach and pave the way for future investigation in the novel field of what is best described as behavioral instability. 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 606 $aEcological science, the Biosphere$2bicssc 606 $aResearch and information: general$2bicssc 610 $aasymmetric diversity 610 $aasymmetric preference 610 $aasymmetry 610 $abehavioral stability 610 $abehavioural instability 610 $abenefits symmetry 610 $abiomonitoring tool 610 $abone graft 610 $abone regeneration 610 $abone tissue 610 $acaptivity 610 $aconfirmatory factor analysis 610 $acorporate image 610 $adisturbance 610 $adynamic incentive 610 $aenrichment 610 $aenvironmental stress 610 $aethogram 610 $aevolutionary game 610 $aexperimental study 610 $aexploratory factor analysis 610 $afibrin 610 $ainertial route choice 610 $an/a 610 $aolfactory stimuli 610 $apharmaceutical marketing 610 $aphysicians' symmetrical prescription behavior 610 $aplatelets 610 $aSEM-based multivariate approach 610 $astereotypy 610 $asystem dynamics 610 $aunmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) 610 $aUrsus maritimus 610 $awillingness to accept 610 $awillingness to pay 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 615 7$aEcological science, the Biosphere 615 7$aResearch and information: general 700 $aPertoldi$b Cino$4edt$01310430 702 $aNygaard Kristensen$b Torsten$4edt 702 $aBahrndorff$b Simon$4edt 702 $aArve Bach$b Lars$4edt 702 $aPertoldi$b Cino$4oth 702 $aNygaard Kristensen$b Torsten$4oth 702 $aBahrndorff$b Simon$4oth 702 $aArve Bach$b Lars$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557153103321 996 $aAsymmetry Indexes, Behavioural Instability and the Characterization of Behavioural Patterns$93029803 997 $aUNINA
