Aggressive females become aggressive males in a sex-changing reef fish.

Ecology letters - 1 Sept 2012

Abstract excerpt

Many animal populations display consistent individual differences in suites of correlated behaviours. While these so called 'animal personalities' can substantially influence the ecology and evolution of populations, little is known about cross-sex correlations of behaviour and thus the potential of personality to limit sex-specific behavioural adaptations. Here, we experimentally induced sex-change in the...
