Ground beetles in city forests: does urbanization predict a personality trait? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background Urbanization leads to substantial changes in natural habitats with profound effects on wildlife. Understanding behavioural responses to such environmental change is essential for identifying which organisms may adapt, as behaviour is often the
