Many phenotypic traits show plasticity but behaviour is often considered the 'most
plastic'aspect of phenotype as it is likely to show the quickest response to temporal changes …

Differences in temperament (consistent differences among individuals in behavior) can have
important effects on fitness-related activities such as dispersal and competition. However …

Animals often differ from one another in their willingness to take risks in a number of
functional contexts related to fitness (eg mating, dispersal, and foraging behaviour) …

In the context of conservation hatcheries that seek to bolster wild populations by releasing
captively‐reared fishes into the wild, steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss were used to test the …

Behaviour and morphology were both shown to differ between 1+ perch from two lakes that
