Abstract: This thesis is focused on development of individual behavioural tendencies (i.e. animal personality), behavioural plasticity and its influence on reproduction succes in common voles (Microtus arvalis). Because common vole is one of our most common rodent species with huge impact in agriculture, we investigated still not studied aspects of common vole's life. The definition of personality traits implies their relative temporal stability as well as, stability under different environmental conditions. In two studies, this personality traits stability/plasticity is approached as phenotypic plasticity using behavioural reaction norm. The first study presents the result of lifelong testing of voles using four open field tests with two-month intervals. The second study, on the other hand, provides insights into the development of personality traits during three days of placing a vole in a new monitoring box environment. The third study analyses one of the possible mechanisms for maintaining personality traits in the vole population. Whether greater similarity in the behavioural personality traits of parental pairs leads to a higher number of offspring.
