"With our new #method that allowed #studying #animal #personality in the #wild, we found that #redknots develop their #personality probably through the #experience that they get when #growing up," says #Ersoy. "After growing up, #adults stick with #exploratory #behaviors. They seem to be like #character types in #humans."

Red knots of all ages and sexes show behavioral traits. These remain mostly unchanged over time but differ across individuals. Some individuals are more adventurous and show more exploratory behaviors a in new environment than others. Other individuals take less risks and hardly dare to move around in a new environment. These "personalities" have ecological and evolutionary consequences, but to what extent is largely unknown, because few studies have investigated this in the field.
