Abstract

Animal personalities are defined as within-individual consistency and consistent among-individual variation in behavior across time and contexts (Biro & Stamps 2008). Typical categories of behavioral traits used to characterize animal personalities are activity, aggressiveness, boldness, exploration, and sociability (Reale et al. 2007).
