A meta‐analysis of sex differences in animal personality: no evidence for the greater male variability hypothesis
The notion that men are more variable than women has become embedded into scientific
thinking. For mental traits like personality, greater male variability has been partly attributed …

Animal personality as a cause and consequence of contest behaviour
We review the evidence for a link between consistent among-individual variation in
behaviour (animal personality) and the ability to win contests over limited resources …

Evolution of sex-specific pace-of-life syndromes: causes and consequences
Males and females commonly differ in their life history optima and, consequently, in the
optimal expression of life history, behavioral and physiological traits involved in pace-of-life …

Are behavioural syndromes sex specific? Personality in a widespread lizard species
Understanding how and why consistent behavioural traits (ie animal personality) vary
between individuals, and identifying the mechanisms that underlie such variation, is a key …

Population, sex and body size: determinants of behavioural variations and behavioural correlations among wild zebrafish Danio rerio
This study (1) investigated variation among populations and the effects of sex and body size
on boldness, activity and shoal-association tendency among wild zebrafish, and (2) tested …

Within‐individual correlations reveal link between a behavioral syndrome, condition, and cortisol in free‐ranging Belding's ground squirrels
AJ Dosmann, KC Brooks, JM Mateo - Ethology, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Animals often exhibit consistent individual differences in behavior (ie, animal personality)
and correlations between behaviors (ie, behavioral syndromes), yet the causes of those …

Among-year variation in the repeatability, within-and between-individual, and phenotypic correlations of behaviors in a natural population
When mean behaviors correlate among individuals, they form behavioral syndromes. One
way to understand the evolution of such a group-level phenomenon is to compare …

Increasing evidence suggests that personality structure differs between species, but the
evolutionary reasons for this variation are not fully understood. We built on earlier research …

Males have more aggressive and less sociable personalities than females in semi-captive Asian elephants
Personality, ie consistent between-individual differences in behaviour, has been
documented in many species. Yet little is known about how males and females of long-lived …
