最近在行为生态学领域的研究揭示了单个种群中有趣的行为变化。越来越多的证据表明，个体动物在一系列环境中表现出的平均行为水平（动物的“个性”）和对环境变化的反应（可塑性）有所不同，这些现象可以被认为是个体表型的互补方面。如何研究这种复杂的变异？在这里，我们概述了如何将行为生态学和数量遗传学的核心思想结合在一个基于“行为反应规范”概念的框架内。这种综合方法有助于分析通常从个性和可塑性两个方面单独研究的现象，从而增强对其适应性的理解。
Recent studies in the field of behavioural ecology have revealed intriguing variation in behaviour within single populations. Increasing evidence suggests that individual animals differ in their average level of behaviour displayed across a range of contexts (animal 'personality'), and in their responsiveness to environmental variation (plasticity), and that these phenomena can be considered complementary aspects of the individual phenotype. How should this complex variation be studied? Here, we outline how central ideas in behavioural ecology and quantitative genetics can be combined within a single framework based on the concept of 'behavioural reaction norms'. This integrative approach facilitates analysis of phenomena usually studied separately in terms of personality and plasticity, thereby enhancing understanding of their adaptive nature.
