Variation in inhibitory control does not influence social rank, foraging efficiency, or risk taking, in red junglefowl females
TL;DR: In this paper , the temporal consistency and inter-relatedness of two behaviours influenced by inhibitory control (impulsive action and persistence) and how these link to social rank, foraging efficiency, and risk taking in adult female red junglefowl (Gallus gallus) were explored.

TL;DR: The authors designed a variant of the detour task for wild great tits, Parus major, and deployed it at the nesting site across two spring seasons, and compared task performance of the same individuals in the wild across 2 years, and with their performance in captivity when tested using the classical cylinder detour tasks during the nonbreeding season.

Individual variation, personality, and the ability of animals to cope with climate change
TL;DR: Animal species are increasingly experiencing more frequent and extreme weather in comparison with conditions in which the species evolved, and animals with reactive personalities are likely to be better able to cope with environmental changes due to climate change than animals with proactive personalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Personality affects individual variation in olfactory learning and reversal learning in the house cricket, Acheta domesticus
TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined the relationship between three putative personality traits, aggression, latency to emerge from a shelter and time to contact a novel object, and learning speed in both initial and reversal olfactory learning in the house cricket, Acheta domesticus .
Journal ArticleDOI
Repeatable parental risk taking across manipulated levels of predation threat: no individual variation in plasticity
TL;DR: In this article , a population of breeding blue tits, Cyanistes caeruleus, was confronted with different levels of predation threat at their nests and recorded their latency to resume brood provisioning after the removal of the predator stimulus.

Linking personality and cognition: a meta-analysis
TL;DR: There is evidence that bold animals are faster learners, but only when boldness is measured in response to a predator and not when bolds is measured by exposure to a novel object (or novel food).
Journal ArticleDOI
An approach to estimate short‐term, long‐term, and reaction norm repeatability
TL;DR: In this paper, a multilevel extension of random regression models is proposed to quantify variation in reaction norms at different hierarchical levels (such as among and within individuals) and to calculate the repeatability of reaction norm intercepts (average phenotype) and slopes (level of phenotypic plasticity).

A genetic analysis of avian personality traits: correlated, response to artificial selection.
TL;DR: This study analyzed two selection experiments on two avian personality traits, early exploratory behavior and risk-taking behavior, using wild great tits from two natural populations to find genetic correlations ranging from 0.51 to 0.66, based on individual values, and from 1.00 based on nest means.
Journal ArticleDOI
Managing uncertainty: information and insurance under the risk of starvation.
TL;DR: It is shown that sampling the variable option should decline both with lower reserves and late in foraging bouts; in order to reap the reduction in uncertainty associated with exploiting a variable resource effectively, foragers must be able to afford and compensate for an initial increase in the risk of an energetic shortfall associated with choosing the option when it is bad.
Journal ArticleDOI
Personality predicts individual responsiveness to the risks of starvation and predation
TL;DR: The results support the trade-off hypothesis at the level of individuals in a wild population, and suggest that fine-scale temporal and spatial variation may play important roles in the evolution of personality.
