Adaptive individual variation in phenological responses to perceived predation levels

Adaptive individual variation in phenological responses to perceived predation levels

For phenotypic plasticity to evolve to a changing world, there must be variation in plasticity. Here, the authors show that whether great tits advance or delay breeding in response to perceived predation risk depends on their personality, linking variation in plasticity with that in personality.
