交配对债券是不可或缺的许多动物社会，但如何在行为的个体差异影响其形成仍然是未知的。在野生大山雀（山雀）的人口中，我们发现，个性的形状对债券：积极主动的男性形成了更强的繁殖前对债券满足他们未来的合作伙伴更快，并以更快的速度增加他们的关系强度。因此，积极主动的雄性会选择更少的潜在配偶。因此，人格可能对社会关系动态和新兴社会结构具有重要意义。
Mated pair bonds are integral to many animal societies, yet how individual variation in behaviour influences their formation remains largely unknown. In a population of wild great tits (Parus major), we show that personality shapes pair bonding: proactive males formed stronger pre-breeding pair bonds by meeting their future partners sooner and increasing their relationship strength at a faster rate. As a result, proactive males sampled fewer potential mates. Thus, personality may have important implications for social relationship dynamics and emergent social structure.
