Parasitism and the evolutionary ecology of animal personality.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 27 Dec 2010

Barber Iain, Dingemanse Niels J

Abstract excerpt

The ecological factors responsible for the evolution of individual differences in animal personality (consistent individual differences in the same behaviour across time and contexts) are currently the subject of intense debate. A limited number of ecological factors have been investigated to date, with most attention focusing on the roles of resource competition and predation. We suggest here that parasitism may...
