Artificial selection for reversal learning reveals limited repeatability and no heritability of cognitive flexibility in great tits (Parus major)
Cognitive flexibility controls how animals respond to changing environmental conditions.
Individuals within species vary considerably in cognitive flexibility but the micro-evolutionary …

Genetic and context‐specific effects on individual inhibitory control performance in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata)
Among‐individual variation in cognitive traits, widely assumed to have evolved under
adaptive processes, is increasingly being demonstrated across animal taxa. As variation …
