Table 5 Correlations of different behavioral categories in PCA scores across different test contexts. Boldness, activity, and exploration assessed across hole-board box (HB) and tunnel-box (TB) tests were consistently more correlated to one another (r > 0.35) than between flight-tent (FT) tests with either HB or TB tests (r < 0.35 or lower)
