Abstract: Personality traits (i.e. consistent individual differences in behaviour) often covary, forming behavioural syndromes. Such associations, if driven by an underlying proximate mechanism, could limit the independent evolution of each behaviour. In contrast, a behavioural syndrome… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/2041-210x.13100
Abstract: Behavioural syndromes refer to correlated suites of behavioural traits exhibiting consistent among‐individual variation, i.e. personality. Factor analysis (FA) is currently the dominant method for modelling behavioural syndromes in humans and animals. Although FA is useful… read more here.
