我们研究的具体目的是从长期监测的人群中测试个体普通the。在偏好测试中,我们揭示了与性别相关的年轻普通sh的行为特征的差异和一致的个体差异的社交能力,大胆和以前没有报道过的探索模式。与shierthe相比,更活跃的动物在探索非社会物体时更大胆,更肤浅。社交能力的年际差异显著,观察到大胆和探索活动。当我们评估社交能力与人口密度的相关性时,非居民丰富,在空间中共享的活动,幸存者和家庭范围大小,我们发现与共享空间活动和家庭范围大小呈正相关。与预期相反,社交能力与居民密度和幸存者无关。记录了社交能力与非居民丰度的显着负相关。幸存者仅与探索模式有关。勘探的彻底性与非居民的丰度呈正相关。我们认为,我们在测试中观察到的社交能力的年际变化是与分散相关的各种探索模式的sh生存的副产品。我们可以假设,本研究中记录的人格差异是通过平衡与整个种群周期中栖息地质量差异相关的频率相关的动物选择来维持的。
The specific aim of our study was to test individual common shrews from a population monitored long-term. In a preference test, we revealed sex-related differences in behavioral traits of young common shrews and consistent individual differences in sociability, boldness and in an exploration pattern that have not been reported previously. More active animals were bolder and more superficial in the exploration of non-social objects as compared to shier shrews. Significant inter-annual differences in
sociability, boldness and exploratory activity were observed. When we assessed correlations of
sociability with population density, non-residents\' abundance, activity shared in space, survivorship and home range size, we found a positive association with shared spatial activity and home range size. Contrary to expectation,
sociability did not correlate with the density of residents and survivorship. A significant negative association of
sociability with non-residents\' abundance was documented. Survivorship was associated only with an exploration pattern. The thoroughness of exploration positively correlated with non-residents\' abundance. We regard the inter-annual changes in
sociability that we observed in the test as a by-product of survival of shrews with various exploration patterns that are associated with dispersal. We can hypothesize that the personality differences registered in this study are maintained by balancing frequency-dependent selection of animals that is associated with differences in habitat quality throughout the population cycle.
