Consistent individual variations in aggressiveness and a behavioral syndrome across breeding contexts in different environments in the Black-tailed Gull

2012-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Individual behaviors of animals do not evolve separately; they do so in association with other behaviors caused by single shared genetic or physiological constraints and/or favored by selection. Thus, measuring behavioral syndromesâsuites of correlated behaviors across different contextsâleads to a better understanding of the adaptive significance of variations in behaviors. However, relatively few studies hav...
