In the recent paper in Philosophical Transactions B, “A decision matrix to better identify repeatable physiological variation within individuals”, we propose a Precision-&-Repeatability Assessment Matrix (PRAM) royalsocietypublishing.org/rstb/article...
Experimental biologists are especially interested in temporally stable physiological traits that are relevant to an individual’s lifetime fitness for natural selection to act upon.
The performance of an individual has remained at the heart of evolutionary biology since the time of Darwin. Physiologists are equally drawn to the implications of individual variation for health and sporting endeavours.
