I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I am a bit sceptical of the idea of generalised personality types in species.

Well it makes sense -- anyone who has had more than two dogs or cats for example can tell you that no two are alike! Just watching my squid shows has demonstrated that humboldts are probably more aggressive than a reef squid for example and in that not every humboldt is as aggressive as the next one. Makes sense.

The great thing is that you can (apparently) download a copy of the thesis through that link! That's an extremely nice thing for them to have done! (Many these are now online, and can be accessed through various search engines, but this is nice of them to do anyway).
