Abstract

Research on the adaptive nature of animal personality is blooming. We detail here the common practice of conducting such studies in the laboratory, inherent shortcomings of this approach when addressing ecological or evolutionary questions, and alternative strategies that might be applied to firmly place personality research in evolutionary biology.
