TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that performance reflects individual differences in personality in a predictable way and find strong positive relationships between all personality traits and learning speed, whereas flexibility was negatively associated with aggressiveness.

TL;DR: The role of ontogenetic processes for the emergence of personality has received only little attention in the past as mentioned in this paper, however, the proximate and ultimate causes are not well understood and the lack of experimental studies on personality development may be that trait consistency over time is one of the cornerstones of the definition of animal personality.

TL;DR: Using meta-analytic methods, it is found that populations with a polygynous mating system or for studies conducted on wild populations, males had a faster pace-of-life for developmental life-history traits (e.g., growth rate), behavior, and physiology.

TL;DR: The results indicate high developmental plasticity with respect to predicted optimal life history and suggest long-term plasticity in response to photoperiod and early personality traits changed over ontogeny to such an extent that early group differences in BP had completely disappeared in adults.

TL;DR: This work shows that an optimized autaptic culture system, with single neurons on astrocyte feeder islands, is well suited to culture, and analyzes human iPSC-derived neurons in a standardized, systematic, and reproducible manner.
