• Personalities in great tits, Parus major : stability and consistency (2005, background): “…days or weeks (e.g. fish: Coleman & Wilson 1998; great tits Drent & Marchetti 1999; in guinea pigs, Cavia aperea: Albers et al. 1999; bighorn ewes, Ovis canadensis: Réale et al. 2000; monkeys, Macaca mulatta: Maestripieri 2000; but see Ruis et al. 2000 for intratest inconsistencies in young pigs.”
• Effects of rearing and housing environment on behaviour and performance of pigs with different coping characteristics (2006, background): “…high resisting (HR) and low-resisting (LR) pigs, have been reported to differ in their behavioural and neuroendocrine responses to a variety of challenging situations (e.g. Bolhuis, 2003; Bolhuis et al., 2004; Hessing et al., 1994a; Geverink et al., 2003, 2004; Karman, 2003; Ruis et al., 2000).”
• Behavioural trait assessment as a release criterion: boldness predicts early death in a reintroduction programme of captive‐bred swift fox (Vulpes velox) (2004, background): “The effects of behavioural variation on the welfare and management of animals have been studied in both farms (Spoolder et al., 1996; Ruis et al., 2000) and zoos (Gold & Maple, 1994; Carlstead, 1999; Carlstead, Mellon & Kleiman, 1999), as a means of assessing the suitability of individual animals…”

• Individual coping characteristics, aggressiveness and fighting strategies in pigs (2005, methodology): “These results are in line with other studies showing a link between Backtest classification and aggressiveness in provocation experiments, such as social confrontation and food competition tests (Hessing et al. 1993, 1994a; Ruis et al. 2000).”

• Thinking Pigs: A Comparative Review of Cognition, Emotion, and Personality in Sus domesticus (2015, background): “Ruis et al. (2000) found that when put in a group-feeding competition setting, individual aggression emerged as a stable personality feature of female pigs.”
