These effects have been documented at the population level, but many animal species naturally show large and repeatable individual-level differences in behaviour. How environmental stressors, such as ocean acidification, affect behavioural variation at the individual level remains largely unknown but is vital in understanding adaptation given natural selection operates on variation at the individual rather than population level. Using a statistical approach allowing variation in means and variation in variance to be modelled within a single framework, we quantified individual-level differences across five behaviours in the coral reef Ambon damselfish Pomacentrus amboinensis (emergence time, activity level, time spent sheltering, thigmotaxis and novel object inspection). We measured behaviour in a novel environment assay, twice before (CO<sub>2</sub> ~450 μatm) and twice following 4-6 days of exposure to predicted end-of-century ocean acidification conditions (~1100 μatm). Following behavioural assays, we tested individual survival in a live predation experiment. We used predatory rock cod, Cephalopholis microprion, acclimated to the same CO<sub>2</sub> treatments as Ambon damsels and examined predictors of survival probability. All behaviours in damselfish were moderately and significantly repeatable, with no marked differences in repeatability estimates between the ambient CO<sub>2</sub> and elevated CO<sub>2</sub> treatment groups. Exposure to end-of-century ocean acidification conditions had no effect on any of the five behaviours measured, both in terms of group means and residual (within-individual) variance. The probability of survival in the predation trials was similar for damselfish in the ambient and elevated CO<sub>2</sub> treatment groups. Smaller damselfish as well as those that spent a greater amount of time inspecting a novel object (i.e. bolder individuals) had a lower probability of survival regardless of their CO<sub>2</sub> treatment. Our results challenge assumptions about the impacts of ocean acidification on coral reef fish behaviour and susceptibility to predation, both at the population and individual level. They also provide support for a trade-off between boldness and predation risk in fish.</p>","PeriodicalId":14934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal Ecology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149136945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
