Animal personality typically refers to a behavioral manifestations stable across time and contexts (Sih et al. 2004, Réale et al. 2007). Personality has been shown to shape fitness and may therefore shape population dynamics though such traits as dominance, response to stress, and reproductive performance. Within the personality framework, behavioral syndromes refer to personality traits expressed population-wide that are consistent over a variety of contexts (e.g., an individual might be aggressive in mating, feeding, parental care), or correlations between different traits (e.g aggression and boldness) (Réale et al. 2007). Using flight-initiation distance and open-field trials, respectively, we searched for correlations between boldness and exploration in 42 yellow-bellied marmots (Marmota flaviventris) from the area around the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Gothic, Colorado. We did not find a behavioral syndrome linking boldness and exploration in the marmots of RMBL.
