“…The results provide support for both the beneficial acclimation hypothesis and the optimal developmental temperature hypothesis and show that the reaction norms for behavioural performance traits are highly complex and affected by multiple factors (for reviews see: Feder et al, 2010;Tuomainen & Candolin, 2011). Both developmental and test temperatures had a large effect on locomotor activity before cold shock, as has been found in other studies (Gibert et al, 2001;Schou et al, 2013). Before the cold-shock treatment, flies developed at 25°C showed the highest activity (at all test temperatures) followed by flies developed at 15 and 31°C.…”

Acclimation to environmental change can impose both costs and benefits to organisms. In this study we explored to what extent locomotor behaviour of Drosophila melanogaster is influenced by developmental temperature and adult temperature in both the laboratory and the field. Following development at 15, 25, or 31 °C, adult flies were tested for locomotor activity at all developmental temperatures in the laboratory before and after exposure to a cold shock and in the field for their ability to locate resources after a cold shock. Both test (15, 25, and 31 °C) and developmental temperatures strongly affected locomoter activity, with flies developed at 25 °C having the highest activity at all three test temperatures before the cold shock. After the cold shock flies developed at 15 °C had higher activity compared with flies developed at 25 and 31 °C when tested at 15 and 25 °C, and flies developed at 25 °C had the highest activity when tested at 31 °C. Furthermore, flies developed at 31 °C showed longer recovery times following the cold shock at test temperatures of 15 and 25 °C. However, flies acclimated at 15 °C during development did not recover faster at 15 and 25 °C compared with flies developed at 25 °C. There were no significant correlations between recovery time and locomotor activity at any of the test temperatures. Flies developed at 15 °C and exposed to a cold shock before release in the field were much more successful in locating a resource at low field temperatures compared with flies developed at 25 and 31 °C. Our results provide support for both the beneficial acclimation hypothesis and the optimal developmental temperature hypothesis, but the results are highly context dependent and change with the temperature experienced by the individual during its lifetime.

“…Alternatively, it has also been suggested that in certain cases, animals may reduce activity to conserve energy if increased competition causes food to be limited or of poor quality (Borkowski 2000; but see Mobaek et al 2012). To date, several studies on activity patterns of diverse taxa such as ruminants (Mobaek et al 2012), land snails (Cameron and Carter 1979), fish (Marchand and Boisclair 1998;Vera et al 2011), and insects (Bailey 1981;Schou et al 2013) have yielded equivocal results on this topic. Other studies of activity patterns have increased intraspecific competition by varying resource abundance (Howerton and Mench 2014) or energetic requirements (Alan€ ar€ a et al 2001).…”

Intraspecific competition plays a significant role in shaping how animals use and share habitats in space and time. However, the way individuals may modify their diel activity in response to increased competition has received limited attention. We used juvenile (age 1+) Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus to test the prediction that individuals at high population density are more active and distribute their foraging activity over a greater portion of the 24‐h cycle than individuals at low population density. Individually tagged fish were stocked in seminatural stream enclosures at low (2 fish/m2) and high (6 fish/m2) density. During each of two 2‐week experimental rounds, activity of all fish within each enclosure was recorded every 3 h over seven 24‐h cycles. At high density, fish were more active and distributed their activity over a greater portion of the 24‐h cycle, with increased activity particularly at crepuscular times. Fluctuations in ecological conditions (e.g., water temperature and light intensity) also affected activity. Fish at high density grew as fast as fish at low density. This study demonstrates that individuals exhibit a degree of behavioral flexibility in their response to changes in ecological conditions and suggests that intraspecific competition can cause animals to modify temporal aspects of their activity to gain access to resources and maintain growth.

“…De la misma manera, en explotaciones equinas el tamaño de la población de mosca se vio afectada por la temperatura y la humedad, ya que la población de moscas aumenta en primavera cuando las temperaturas suben y disminuye en otoño cuando las temperaturas bajan (26) . Se ha observado que la temperatura tiene un gran impacto en la actividad física de M. domestica durante el día, la actividad se incrementa con la temperatura a intervalo de 10 a 30-35 °C, además de que se incrementa la dispersión y transmisión de patógenos, y la actividad física disminuye cuando la temperatura está por arriba de 35 °C (27) . Esto indica que la mosca tiene un amplio rango de temperaturas para realizar su actividad; esta información se puede utilizar para establecer medidas preventivas y evitar algún brote de enfermedades.…”
