Behavioral Ecology on Behavioral Syndromes - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 277 Behavioral Syndromes/behavioral ecology/context/behavior/Gosling: Behavioral Syndromes be maintained within populations. In the field of Behavioural Ecology, behaviours that are correlated within a given context (e.g., correlations between activity and exploratory behaviours in a foraging context) or across different contexts (e.g., correlations among foraging, anti-predator and mating behaviours) are often referred to as behavioural syndromes (Sih, Bell, Johnson and Ziemba et al. 2004(1)). These suites of behaviours are presumably linked by genetic or physiological mechanisms. Such behavioural syndromes are sometimes used to explain the existence of apparently maladaptive behaviours. For example, it may be maladaptive to be overly aggressive in a mating situation but the costs of aggression in this context may be offset by the benefits of being aggressive in other contexts (e.g., foraging, defence of territory). >Behavior, >Evolution, >Adaption, >Situations, >Aggression. 1.
