Does boldness stamp a morphological mark? Evidence of decoupling in the invasive giant African snail Lissachatina fulica (Bowdich, 1822).

Behavioural processes - 1 May 2026

Vinitha Meluveettil S, Sheeba Palissery, Sudhikumar Ambalaparambil V

Abstract excerpt

Understanding covariation between animal personality traits and morphology is essential for assessing ecological impacts and developing targeted mitigation for invasive species. Boldness, characterised by an individual propensity to take risks, facilitates invasion success by enhancing dispersal, resource acquisition, and adaptability. Here, we investigated associations between boldness and shell morphology in...
