在所谓的行为综合征中，行为通常在个体之间相关。表型性状的个体间相关性可以改变种群的进化反应轨迹，如果以遗传相关性为基础，甚至可以阻止进化变化。行为综合征是否也以这种方式影响进化过程仍不清楚。在这里，我们提供了第一个测试的进化反应可能会受到行为综合征结构的影响程度。这个测试，基于对加性遗传方差协方差矩阵的荟萃分析，表明行为综合征平均限制了33%的潜在进化反应。相比之下，生活史或形态特征之间的相关性表明1318%的限制。这一发现表明，行为综合征可能会大大限制人口的进化轨迹，提示新的未来方向的行为综合征的研究，强调从进化的角度来看综合征研究的重要性，并提供了综合征研究和理论定量遗传学之间的桥梁。
Behaviors are commonly correlated between individuals in so-called behavioral syndromes. Between-individual correlations of phenotypic traits can change the trajectories of evolutionary responses available to populations and even prevent evolutionary change if underpinned by genetic correlations. Whether behavioral syndromes also influence the course of evolution in this manner remains unknown. Here, we provide the first test of the degree to which evolutionary responses might be affected by behavioral syndrome structure. This test, based on a meta-analysis of additive genetic variancecovariance matrices, shows that behavioral syndromes constrain potential evolutionary responses by an average of 33%. For comparison, correlations between life-history or between morphological traits suggest constraints of 1318%. This finding demonstrates that behavioral syndromes might substantially constrain the evolutionary trajectories available to populations, prompts novel future directions for the study of behavioral syndromes, emphasizes the importance of viewing syndrome research from an evolutionary perspective, and provides a bridge between syndrome research and theoretical quantitative genetics.
