ABSTRACT It's about time: Understanding temporal variation in animal behaviorIn animal behavior, when something happens and for how long it happens can be just as important as what happens. The timing and duration of behavioral change can determine whether that change is beneficial or detrimental. A greater focus on temporal aspects of behavior will clarify how animals respond to their changing environment, how individuals in a group respond to one another, and how behavior influences other important traits like physiology and immunity. By bringing together researchers from diverse fields of study, the symposium and workshop at the 2015 Animal Behavior Society Meeting will increase focus on temporal aspects of behavior, generate new approaches to studying behavioral variation over time, and apply those insights to a broad range of topics. An additional facet of the workshop will involve professional development for early career researchers.Understanding the behavior of individuals requires quantifying how behavior changes over time. However, the temporal dimension of behavioral variation is often ignored. When researchers do address temporal variation in behavior, they do so in distinctly different ways, such as measuring time trends, circadian rhythms, or predictability. Integrating these different temporal patterns and other fields of animal behavior will provide a greater understanding of the causes and consequences of behavioral variation. For example, integration between circadian rhythms and animal personality has resulted in study on individual chronotypes, which promises to have biomedical impacts and implications for the ecology and evolution of animal behavior. The workshop and symposium activities will extend current points of integration and create new ones. The goals of the symposium and workshop are to 1) outline important unresolved temporal issues in animal behavior, 2) facilitate integration among fields that explicitly study temporal variation in behavior and those that are impacted by temporal variation, and 3) arm researchers with tools to experimentally test and analyze temporal patterns of behavior.

摘要是关于时间：了解动物行为行为的时间变化，发生某些事情以及发生多长时间的时间与发生的事情一样重要。行为改变的时机和持续时间可以确定这种变化是有益还是有害。对行为的时间方面的更大关注将阐明动物如何应对其不断变化的环境，一个群体中的个人如何反应以及行为如何影响其他重要特征，例如生理和免疫。通过将来自不同研究领域的研究人员汇集在一起​​，2015年动物行为社会会议的研讨会和研讨会将增加关注行为的时间方面，为研究行为变化而产生新的方法，并将这些见解应用于广泛的主题。研讨会的另一个方面将涉及早期职业研究人员的专业发展。理解个人的行为需要量化行为如何随时间变化。但是，行为变化的时间维度通常被忽略。当研究人员确实解决行为的时间变化时，他们以明显不同的方式进行操作，例如测量时间趋势，昼夜节律或可预测性。整合这些不同的时间模式和动物行为的其他领域将对行为变化的原因和后果有更深入的了解。例如，昼夜节律和动物个性之间的整合导致对个别计时型的研究，该研究有望对动物行为的生态学和进化产生生物医学的影响和影响。研讨会和研讨会活动将扩展当前集成点并创建新的集成点。研讨会和研讨会的目标是1）概述动物行为中重要的未解决的时间问题，2）促进在行为的时间变化和受时间变化影响的领域之间的整合，以及3）手臂研究人员具有实验性测试和分析行为时间模式的工具。
