Summary

I'm interested in individual variation in behaviour: animal personalities. Specifically, I wish to understand the relationship between personality and the social environment. I am exploring the influence of personality in the use of social and personal information for decision-making, and I am also attempting to understand why there individuals differ in how cooperative they are.
