Within populations, individuals often show repeatable variation in behaviour, called 'animal
personality'. In the last few decades, numerous empirical studies have attempted to …

Meiotic drive occurs when one allele at a heterozygous site cheats its way into a
disproportionate share of functional gametes, violating Mendel's law of equal segregation …

Abstract Knowledge on animal personality has provided new insights into evolutionary
biology and animal ecology, as behavioural types have been shown to affect fitness. Animal …

Evolution of complex physiological adaptations could be driven by natural selection acting
on behavioral traits. Consequently, animal personality traits and their correlation with …

Highlights•We tested whether communally nesting females benefited from reduced nest
attendance.•Females nesting communally spent less time in the nest than solitarily nesting …

The extended pace-of-life syndrome (POLS) hypothesis suggests that variation in boldness-
like behaviors has co-evolved with variation in life-history strategies within populations, yet …

The last decade has seen lots of studies on 'animal personality'(ie the study of consistent
between‐individual behavioural differences). As timely and promising as this field is, its …

Segregation distorters located on sex chromosomes are predicted to sweep to fixation and
cause extinction via a shortage of one sex, but in nature they are often found at low, stable …

Not all genetic loci follow Mendel's rules, and the evolutionary consequences of this are not
yet fully known. Genomic conflict involving multiple loci is a likely outcome, as restoration of …

Meiotic drivers distort transmission to the next generation in their favor, with detrimental
effects on the fitness of their homologues and the rest of the genome. Male carriers of …
