Summary: Wilson & Krause (2012)

There has recently been a surge of interest in animal personality. Yet, how and why animal personalities arise, their adaptive significance and consistency of traits across ontogeny remain relatively poorly understood. Similarly, the underlying developmental processes governing metamorphosis remain poorly understood and under-appreciated. Wilson & Krause (2012) suggest that animals that undergo metamorphosis represent a unique opportunity to study the physiological, morphological and ecological influences on personality differences throughout the process of development.
