摘要: Individuals of the same species often consistently differ in their behaviour across time and context. These stable differences are usually termed ‘animal personality’. Parasitism is known to significantly influence evolution animal personality at least part because more explorative individuals may meet parasites frequently than less ones. Previously, we have demonstrated that consistent individual (i.e. boldness, activity, exploration) can be measured firebugs. As continuation, examined here relationship between firebug traits ectoparasitic mite loads a wild population. We showed bugs behaved way mites also found marginally significant interaction sex, boldness activity: bolder active female firebugs were infected. In addition, experimentally tested whether an artificial infection causes any alteration bug’s there immune response. This treatment did not induce bugs’ personality. become but when repeating experiment, all (boldness, activity repeatable. Furthermore, with stronger response boldly actively.
