Realized heritability of personalities in the great tit (Parus major).

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Jan 2003

Drent Pieter J, van Oers Kees, van Noordwijk Arie J

Abstract excerpt

Behaviour under conditions of mild stress shows consistent patterns in all vertebrates: exploratory behaviour, boldness, aggressiveness covary in the same way. The existence of highly consistent individual variation in these behavioural strategies, also referred to as personalities or coping styles, allows us to measure the behaviour under standardized conditions on birds bred in captivity, link the standardized...
