intraclass correlation coefficient

Statistical measure of repeatability that tests individual consistency of a continuous variable by comparing within-subject and between-subject variation

population sensitivity

Scaled measure of how population growth rate responds to changes in environmental drivers

reproduction ratio

The average number of offspring produced by a typical individual during its life, calculated as the product of offspring number and survival probability

metric

Beecher's information statistic

A statistic derived from information theory that quantifies individuality by calculating inter-individual variation relative to intra-individual variation

nest density

Number of nests per unit area, calculated by dividing number of nests in each habitat by total area

metric

Clutton-Brock index

A method for calculating dominance based on an individual's relative number of wins or losses that is tolerant of missing pair-wise interactions and weights wins highly

methodological3 papers
metric

inbreeding coefficient

Measure of the level of inbreeding within a population, with values close to 1.0 indicating high levels of inbreeding

population ecology3 papers
metric

repeatability

The proportion of variance in a trait that is explained by individual identity, indicating consistency of individual differences over time and across situations

general ecology3 papers
metric

cut points

Number of social ties that if cut will result in two or more separate networks, measuring group fragmentation

social complexity

Demographic metric based on information theory quantifying the variation in social group composition across age and sex classes
