Consistent activity-exploration correlations were found across populations and years in ornate box turtles. Correlations with boldness were present but varied in magnitude, and one population showed a decoupling of boldness and activity. This is the first evidence of these behavioral syndromes in wild terrestrial turtles, and we stress the importance of preserving behavioral diversity to support the conservation of long-lived ectothermic vertebrates.

Coal tits are among the few Paridae species that do not produce mobbing calls in a strict sequential order. A playback experiment investigates the relative importance of note origin (conspecific, known heterospecific, or artificial) and note order (typical F-D, coal tits' order, or the unnatural D-F order) on mobbing response of coal tits. Both coal tits and the broader bird community show a higher likelihood of responding to coal tits' notes, irrespective of the order of the notes.
