Lay Summary The pace-of-life syndrome hypothesis predicts that environmental differences can trigger the evolution of different life-history strategies, including differences in personality. A 5-year study reveals that blue tits breeding in different habitats differ in personality and in life-history characteristics, such as adult survival probability. This is a rare demonstration of personality differences across a small geographical scale, suggesting behavior and life-history traits have coevolved in a local adaptation process.
