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.

How Gene-Environment Interactions Shape Biobehavioral Development: Lessons From Studies With Rhesus Monkeys
TL;DR: Because the attachment style of a monkey mother is typically "copied" by her daughters when they grow up and become mothers themselves, similar buffering is likely to occur for the next generation of infants carrying that specific polymorphism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Taking the Operant Paradigm into the Field: Associative Learning in Wild Great Tits
TL;DR: It is discussed how customisable automated operant devices, such as the one described here, could prove to be a powerful tool in evolutionary ecology studies of cognitive traits, especially among inquisitive species such as great tits.

Personality predicts behavioral flexibility in a fluctuating, natural environment
Katherine A. Herborn,Britt J. Heidinger,Lucille Alexander,Kathryn E. Arnold,Kathryn E. Arnold +4 more
TL;DR: This work examined whether personality traits classified in captivity would predict the behavioral flexibility of blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus as they foraged in the wild and suggested that personality types differ in how they use information about their environments and hence cope with environmental change.

Do detour tasks provide accurate assays of inhibitory control

TL;DR: Individual differences in performance on commonly used detour-dependent Putative Inhibitory Control Tasks may reveal more about an individual's prior experience of transparent objects, or their motivation to acquire food, than providing a reliable measure of their inhibitory control.

Testing cognition in the wild: factors affecting performance and individual consistency in two measures of avian cognition.
TL;DR: The performance of wild North Island robins in two tasks commonly used to measure individual differences in avian cognition: a novel motor task and a detour reaching task was measured, suggesting that energetic state may affect inhibitory control in robins.
