Consistent individual differences in behavior, commonly termed animal personality, are a widespread phenomenon across taxa that have important consequences for fitness, natural selection, and trophic interactions. Animal personality research may prove useful in several conservation contexts, but which contexts remains to be determined. We conducted a structured literature review of 654 studies identified by combining search terms for animal personality and various conservation subfields. We scored the relevance of personality and conservation issues for each study to identify which studies meaningfully integrated the 2 fields as opposed to surface-level connections or vague allusions. We found a taxonomic bias toward mammals (29% of all studies). Very few amphibian or reptile studies applied personality research to conservation issues (6% each). Climate change (21%), invasive species (15%), and captive breeding and reintroduction (13%) were the most abundant conservation subfields that occurred in our search, though a substantial proportion of these papers weakly integrated conservation and animal personality (climate change 54%, invasive species 51%, captive breeding and reintroduction 40%). Based on our results, we recommend that researchers strive for consistent and broadly applicable terminology when describing consistent behavioral differences to minimize confusion and improve the searchability of research. We identify several gaps in the literature that appear to be promising and fruitful avenues for future research, such as disease transmission as a function of sociability or exploration as a driver of space use in protected areas. Practitioners can begin informing future conservation efforts with knowledge gained from animal personality research. 相似文献

Fungi cultivated by fungus-growing ants (Attini: Formicidae) are passed on between generations by transfer from maternal
to offspring nest (vertical transmission within ant species). However, recent phylogenetic analyses revealed that cultivars
are occasionally also transferred between attine species. The reasons for such lateral cultivar transfers are unknown. To
investigate whether garden loss may induce ants to obtain a replacement cultivar from a neighboring colony (lateral cultivar
transfer), pairs of queenright colonies of two Cyphomyrmex species were set up in two conjoined chambers; the garden of one colony was then removed to simulate the total crop loss
that occurs naturally when pathogens devastate gardens. Garden-deprived colonies regained cultivars through one of three mechanisms:
joining of a neighboring colony and cooperation in a common garden; stealing of a neighbor's garden; or aggressive usurpation
of a neighbor's garden. Because pathogens frequently devastate attine gardens under natural conditions, garden joining, stealing
and usurpation emerge as critical behavioral adaptations to survive garden catastrophes.
