You are what you eat: diet shapes body composition, personality and behavioural stability.

BMC evolutionary biology - 10 Jan 2017

Han Chang S, Dingemanse Niels J

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Behavioural phenotypes vary within and among individuals. While early-life experiences have repeatedly been proposed to underpin interactions between these two hierarchical levels, the environmental factors causing such effects remain under-studied. We tested whether an individual's diet affected both its body composition, average behaviour (thereby causing among-individual variation or 'personality')...
