Abstract

Amongst the many ways in which the environment affects the expression and evolution of behaviour, the social environment has been imputed to have particularly strong effects on behaviour. This is because this aspect of the environment is itself heritable and can lead to coevolutionary dynamics between actions and responses of interacting individuals. In this thesis, I use male Australian field crickets, Teleogryllus oceanicus, to investigate how different aspects of the social environment affect the expression of and quantitative genetic (co)variation in different personality traits.
