Journal ArticleDOI
Pace-of-life syndromes: a framework for the adaptive integration of behaviour, physiology and life history
TL;DR: A refined definition of POLSs is provided that is applicable to various key levels of variation and facilitating testable predictions, and conceptual refinements of theory and empirical support of the POLS hypothesis are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is risk taking during foraging a personality trait? A field test for cross-context consistency in boldness
Melanie Dammhahn,Laura Almeling +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that boldness towards a novel object predicts risk taking in a foraging task and that individual differences in risk taking were repeatable and repeatability increased with increasing risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pace-of-life syndrome revisited : the role of ecological conditions and natural history on the slow-fast continuum
Pierre-Olivier Montiglio,Pierre-Olivier Montiglio,Melanie Dammhahn,Melanie Dammhahn,Gabrielle Dubuc Messier,Denis Réale +5 more
TL;DR: The pace-of-life syndrome hypothesis is revisited, suggesting that behaviors involving a risk of death or injury should coevolve with higher metabolic rates, higher fecundity, faster growth, and heightened mortality rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are personality differences in a small iteroparous mammal maintained by a life-history trade-off?
TL;DR: Predictions of one main life-history hypothesis, which posits that consistent individual differences in behaviour are favoured by a trade-off between current and future reproduction, are tested to provide empirical support of this life- History Trade-off hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Individual flexibility in energy saving: body size and condition constrain torpor use
TL;DR: This study illustrates that alternative physiological strategies to overcome temperature constraints co-occur in a population, with body size and condition being key determinants of the energy conservation strategy that an individual can launch.
