Quantitative genetics of shy-bold behaviour and plastic response to novel predator cues in the cherry shrimp, Neocaridina davidi.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the genetic basis of behavioural variation among-individuals is vital for predicting if, when, and how quickly behaviour can evolve under selection. However, in heterogeneous environments, behavioural plasticity (a source of within-individual variation) may also contribute to the phenotypic variance that can be selected on. If so, a complete picture of evolutionary potential, requires estimation of...
