Abstract
The pace-of-life syndrome hypothesis (POLS) suggests that individual behavioural variation coevolves with life-history variation, causing individuals on a fast life-history trajectory to display more active or bold personalities than individuals following a slow trajectory. In the present study, Nakayama, Rapp & Arlinghaus (2017) followed the detailed movement patterns of wild Eurasian perch using acoustic telemetry and studied their relationships with life-history traits inferred from scale samples. Consistent with POLS, individuals with greater reproductive effort changed more often between active and passive behavioural modes. Moreover, individuals growing fast as a juvenile stayed active longer and moved over greater distances when adult. This study shows compelling evidence for covariance between personality and pace-of-life in a natural population.
