Research on the adaptive nature of animal personality is blooming. We detail here the common practice of conducting such studies in the laboratory, inherent shortcomings of this approach when addressing ecological or evolutionary questions, and alternative strategies that might be applied to firmly place personality research in evolutionary biology.
动物个性的适应性研究正在蓬勃发展。我们在这里详细介绍了在实验室中进行此类研究的常见做法，当涉及到生态或进化问题时，这种方法的固有缺陷，以及可能应用于将个性研究牢固地置于进化生物学中的替代策略。
