Abstract: Evidence for consistent, among-individual variation in sociability behavior is growing. Here, however, we provide novel evidence for sex differences in the repeatability of sociability in eastern water dragons. Furthermore, we demonstrate that observed patterns of repeatability exist despite a dynamic social environment.
