Leaders Are Somethin' Else: Behavioural Variation Associated With Roles During Tandem Running Recruitment

Ethology, EarlyView.
In this study, we found moderate to strong repeatabilities in behavioural variables measuring the personality traits: activity, aggressiveness and exploration. Similarly, the probability of acting as a leader during tandem running in an emigration event was moderately (R = 0.469) repeatable.
