Integrating animal temperament within ecology and evolution

Article Abstract:

The authors study the ecology and evolution of temperament traits such as avoidance of novelty, activity, sociability and aggressiveness. The ecological and evolutionary significance of the temperaments is highly neglected due to the apparent irrelevance of the terminology and lack of understanding of the link between temperament traits and fitness.
