A new study has shown that in the great tit (Parus major) bold males and shy females apparently flourish after rich winter pickings, while shy males and bold females profit from meagre winters. This groundbreaking work exemplifies the approach required for a biological understanding of an apparently common animal trait - personality.
一项新研究表明,在大山雀(Parus major)中,大胆的雄性和羞怯的雌性在冬季食物丰富时显然繁衍旺盛,而羞怯的雄性和大胆的雌性则在冬季食物匮乏时受益。这项具有开创性的研究例证了对一种看似常见的动物特征——个性——进行生物学理解所需的方法。
