AB  - Prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) exhibit remarkable individual variation in 
      social behaviour, suggesting differences in behavioural types. To date, however, 
      there has been little assessment of whether these behavioural types are stable 
      across test sessions, nor to what extent internal states and external contexts 
      (domains) drive individual differences. Here we examined the individual 
      consistency of social (huddling) and non-social (distance moved) behaviour across 
      repeated, long-duration tests, in same-sex cagemate (SS-CM), same-sex stranger 
      (SS-S), opposite-sex stranger (OS-S), and standard partner preference test (PPT) 
      contexts. The SS-CM and SS-S tests were repeated multiple times (SS-CM 1-2; SS-S 
      1-5) to assess state-dependent variation. A second cohort was used to determine 
      the replicability of findings. Overall, there was a general lack of stability in 
      huddling behavior. It was inconsistent across repeated sessions of the same test 
      type and between types of tests, suggesting a strong contribution of 
      state-dependent variation. Non-social behaviour was more consistent and appeared 
      more domain-dependent and less state-dependent than huddling. Translational and 
      comparative studies of individual variation would likely benefit from testing 
      across multiple contexts and employing repetitive testing paradigms to account 
      for state-dependent variation.
