In particular, numerous studies have quantified behavioral syndromes, behavioral correlations across contexts; e.g., a positive correlation between boldness when predators are present and aggressiveness with competitors. Here, I present results of recent work in my lab on three frontiers in the study of these behavioral syndromes: 1) how individual differences in male behavioral tendencies (his BT, and his social skill) interact with his social environment to influence variation in mating success; 2) how BT-dependent ecological performance and dispersal might play an important role in ecological invasions; and 3) how behavioral syndromes affect parasite loads and in turn, how parasites might affect behavioral syndromes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coffee and tea at 3:00 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[],"cu_event_audience":[],"class_list":["post-3656","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2014-09-19T15:30:00","cu_event_end_date":"2014-09-19T17:00:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_building":"AT","cu_event_meeting_room":"101","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":"null","cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":"","cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"Andrew Simons","cu_event_email":"andrew.simons@carleton.ca","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/3656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/3656\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3658,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/3656\/revisions\/3658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=3656"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=3656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
