Two questions in the research of animal personality—whether there is a correlation between a personality trait and individual reproductive success,and what is the genetic basis underlying a personality trait—remain ...
Neuroplasticity enables teleosts to promote or downregulate the growth of their brains regionally.To compensate for the effects of predation pressure,teleosts may alter their brain morphology and behavioral responses ...

Selection forces often generate sex-specific differences in various traits closely related to fitness.While in adult spiders(Araneae),sexes often differ in coloration,body size,antipredator,or foraging behavior,such s...
Animal personality is often studied within compressed periods of observation that represent narrow windows in comparison to animal lifespans.Although much is known about the relations between repeatable personality tr...
