Abstract

Highlights

•Behavioural differences may arise in the absence of genetic or environmental variation.

•Chaotic dynamics may influence behavioural development and among-individual variation.

•We discuss methods and experimental designs to test this idea.

•Nonlinear and chaotic behavioural development may explain much of natural variation.
