However, we did not identify neophobic personalities and neophobic responses were not correlated with boldness, indicating parents may not consistently conform to generally risk-prone or risk-averse behavioural syndromes and may not generalize fear responses across different potential dangers.

Flight initiation distances (FIDs) are often used to characterize animal personality.

We report evidence for consistent between-individual variation in FIDs in incubating parents of a ground-nesting bird, indicating variation in boldness personalities.

Huge credit to @daniedmunds.bsky.social and everyone else for this work, and Dani's Drosophila Collage!

Sexual selection was consistently stronger on males vs females, however our results reveal that changes in sex ratios do not equal changes in sexual selection.
