Table 2 Consistency of individual ranks in behavioural traits over time in larvae and adults of Phaedon cochleariae (L2-L3, N = 31, L3-A1, N = 41, A1-A3, N = 38). The consistency over time was tested for all possible behavioural traits between the stages using Kendall's coefficient of concordance W. P-values remaining significant after correction for false discovery rate within behavioural dimensions are indicated in bold; the uncorrected P-values are shown.
