Individual boldness affects interspecific interactions in sticklebacks (2009, background): “The emergence and persistence of individual variation in risk taking may result from adaptive differences in reproductive tradeoffs, with risk-prone or risk-averse behaviour being associated with strategies to maximise short- or long-term fitness (Wolf et al. 2007).”
Shoal composition determines foraging success in the guppy (2009, background): “Recent theoretical work has demonstrated how life-history trade-offs can favor the evolution of animal personalities (Wolf et al. 2007).”
Urbanization Is Associated with Divergence in Pace-of-Life in Great Tits (2017, background): “Most notably, many studies in the last decade have tested adaptive explanations for the evolution of repeatable individual differences in behavior (aka personality) (Wolf et al., 2007) and a number of theoretical studies have attempted to predict the conditions favoring the evolution of personalitie”
Between individual variation in risk-taking behavior and its life history consequences (2012, background): “Therefore, risk-taking behavior is linked to life history (Wolf et al. 2007).”
Alternative reproductive tactics and life history phenotypes (2010, background): “Evolutionary outcomes are very difficult to understand without the aid of models (Brockmann 2001, Wolf et al. 2007).”
Effects of group size and personality on social foraging: the distribution of sheep across patches (2009, background): “2005), and individual variability is assumed to have adaptive significance by ensuring an appropriate response to environmental changes at the population level (Wilson 1998; Sih et al. 2004; Wolf et al. 2007).”
Boldness and behavioral syndromes in the bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus (2009, result): “This pattern, though not explicitly tested, is consistent with other current models explaining the evolution and maintenance of personality differences among individuals in populations (Bell and Stamps 2004; Stamps 2007; Wolf et al. 2007).”
Covariation between personalities and individual differences in coping with stress: Converging evidence and hypotheses (2010, methodology): “Negative frequency-dependent selection first promotes the coexistence of superficial and thorough explorers (Wolf et al., 2007) or responsive and unresponsive individuals (Wolf et al.”
Shy trout grow faster: exploring links between personality and fitness-related traits in the wild (2011, positive): “However, several hypotheses have been recently proposed to explain the phenomenon (Dall et al. 2004; Sih et al. 2004; Dingemanse and Reale 2005; Wolf et al. 2007; Biro and Stamps 2008).”
Life history and behavioral type in the highly social cichlid Neolamprologus pulcher (2010, background): “Ecological studies should elucidate how variation in helping behaviors and their correlated effects might be maintained (Dingemanse et al. 2004; Wolf et al. 2007).”
Paceless life? A meta-analysis of the pace-of-life syndrome hypothesis (2018, background): “…despite this intuitive conceptual framework, there have been fewmathematical treatments of whether and how behaviors should covary with physiology and life-history (Wolf et al. 2007; Engqvist et al. 2015; reviewed in Mathot and Frankenhuis 2018, topical collection on Pace-of-life syndromes).”
Boldness and Reproductive Fitness Correlates in the Eastern Mosquitofish, Gambusia holbrooki (2010, background): “This is particularly true in terms of understanding the mechanisms underlying the origin, evolution and fitness consequences of animal personality (Gosling 2001; Sih et al. 2004; Dingemanse & Réale 2005; Wolf et al. 2007; Smith & Blumstein 2008).”
Exploration strategies map along fast–slow metabolic and life‐history continua in muroid rodents (2009, background): “In this respect, it is interesting to note that Wolf et al.'s (2007) model and much of the literature on personality is focused on intra-specific variation.”
Pace-of-life syndromes: a framework for the adaptive integration of behaviour, physiology and life history (2018, background): “traits, particularly risk-taking behaviours, play a functional role in mediating life-history trade-offs (Stamps 2007; Wolf et al. 2007; Biro and Stamps 2008).”
