This chapter addresses the quantitative and molecular genetics of animal personality. It discusses the role of additive and nonadditive genetic effects, genetic correlations between animal personality traits, and modes of development and heritability. The chapter also presents a formal meta-analysis of published studies on the heritability of personality estimates of animal traits.

Keywords:   genetics, animal personality, additive genetic effects, nonadditive genetic effects, genetic correlations, heritability, animal traits
