Correlation between animal personality and fitness?

The project’s objectives are to shed some light over the question if animal personality is alternative adaptive strategies through which different phenotypes obtain the same fitness goal, or evolutionary constraints limiting the phenotypic plasticity of an individual. The project consists of two parts, using tame and wild fallow deer.
