Journal ArticleDOI

Quantifying individual variation in behaviour: mixed-effect modelling approaches

TL;DR: An overview of how mixed-effect models can be used to partition variation in, and correlations among, phenotypic attributes into between- and within-individual variance components is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

The contribution of additive genetic variation to personality variation: heritability of personality

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that genetic differences are likely to be a major contributor to variation in animal personality and support the phenotypic gambit: that evolutionary inferences drawn from repeatability estimates may often be justified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defining behavioural syndromes and the role of ‘syndrome deviation’ in understanding their evolution

TL;DR: This commentary highlights multivariate tools that have been used by evolutionary biologists in the study of syndromes and their evolution and discusses the insights that these methods provide into evolutionary processes relative to the metric ‘syndrome deviation’ that has recently been proposed by Herczeg and Garamszegi.
Journal ArticleDOI

Behavioral syndromes as evolutionary constraints

TL;DR: This test, based on a meta-analysis of additive genetic variance–covariance matrices, shows that behavioral syndromes constrain potential evolutionary responses by an average of 33%.
