Effect of interactions of personality traits on growth and foraging in turtles
Abstract
Understanding the effects of personality traits on the growth and foraging behaviors of turtles is crucial for enhancing conservation strategies and captive management practices. This article examines how individual differences in personality traits, such as boldness and exploratory behavior, influence growth rates and foraging efficiency in turtle species. By synthesizing recent research findings and theoretical perspectives, we explore the mechanisms through which personality traits affect foraging success and growth, highlighting the implications for both wild populations and captive environments. We also discuss potential applications for improving turtle management and conservation efforts based on personality assessments.
