A Behavioral Syndrome in the Southern Red-Backed Salamander (Plethodon Serratus)
… be explained by individual "personalities” or "behavioral syndromes”. There has been little study concerning whether behavioral syndromes are stable or can be modified by personal experience. In this study, I compared behavior of adult southern red-backed salamanders (Plethodon serratus) in two …

Behavioral syndromes and their effect on dispersal in Notonecta irrorata
… that might be affected by an individual's other behavioral tendencies. Correlated behavioral traits, or behavioral syndromes, are evidence for personality in animals and could potentially play a role in dispersal propensity. This research examined whether or not a behavioral syndrome exists in …

Serotonergic involvement in the behavioral depression produced by intermittent swim stress
<p>Exposure to uncontrollable stress produces a behavioral syndrome that is often described as "behavioral depression" in the rat. Current paradigms for inducing behavioral depression utilize continuous swimming or intermittent electric shock stress. Brown et al., developed a novel strategy that …

Behavioral and Hormonal Flexibility Across Light Environments in Guppies (Poecilia reticulata)
… light intensity environments may have important behavioral consequences. One approach to understanding changes in behavior is by studying behavioral syndromes, suites of correlated behaviors reflecting between individual consistencies in behavior expressed within a behavioral situation (e.g., …

ENDOCRINE-MEDIATED ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTS ON PERSONALITY AND STRESS IN NAZCA BOOBIES
… seabirds that have been the subject of recent behavioral and endocrine research due to two aspects of their life-history: obligate siblicide, and maltreatment of nestlings by unrelated non-breeding adults. The frequency of maltreatment as a nestling predicts future adult maltreatment behavior …

… variation are of broad interest in the field of behavioral ecology. In the wild, animals experience wide ranging environmental conditions, and understanding the impact of this heterogeneity in shaping behavioral traits, such as cognition, is critical to understanding their evolution.

Occupancy dynamics, personality, & behavior of Franklin's Ground Squirrel in agricultural landscapes
… of habitats, or other landscape elements, and behavioral responses of individuals to physical structure of a landscape. Hence, connectivity for a species is best understood by examining movement at multiple scales. Here, I examine movement of Poliocitellus franklinii (Franklin’s ground …
