Shy trout grow faster: exploring links between personality and fitness-related traits in the wild (2011, neutral): “For example, stickleback populations under high predation pressure show a positive genetic correlation between boldness and aggression, whereas this correlation is absent in populations with a history of low predation pressure (Bell and Sih 2007; Dingemanse et al. 2007).”
Boldness–exploration behavioral syndrome: interfamily variability and repeatability of personality traits in the young of the convict cichlid (Amatitlania siquia) (2015, background): “Known selection agents on personality traits include predation (Bell and Sih 2007) and choosy sexual partners (Godin and Dugatkin 1996; Schuett et al. 2010).”
A method for exploring the structure of behavioural syndromes to allow formal comparison within and between data sets (2010, background): “…have revealed that correlations between aggressiveness and boldness are stronger in populations where fish predators are present (versus absent); fish predators potentially induce selection which favours correlations between behavioural traits (Bell 2005; Bell & Sih 2007; Dingemanse et al. 2007).”
Personality in captivity reflects personality in the wild (2010, background): “Bell & Sih (2007), for example found that aggression and risk taking in a predator-naı̈ve population of sticklebacks, Gasterosteus aculeatus, were correlated only after exposure to a predator, suggesting that the absence of the predator–prey context affects captive personality trait estimates.”
Behavioral syndromes as evolutionary constraints (2013, background): “Specifically, in three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus), differences in predation pressure between closely related populations or changes in predation pressure within populations correspond to differences in syndrome structure (Bell and Sih 2007; Dingemanse et al. 2007) with behavioral co”
Boldness and behavioral syndromes in the bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus (2009, background): “…and van Oers 2004; Both et al. 2005), mammals (Réale and Festa-Bianchet 2003; Svartberg et al. 2005; Dochtermann and Jenkins 2007), reptiles (Lopez et al. 2005), fishes (Ward et al. 2004; Wilson and Stevens 2005; Bell and Sih 2007), insects (Kortet et al. 2007), and cephalopods (Sinn et al. 2006).”
An empiricist guide to animal personality variation in ecology and evolution (2014, background): “Moreover, Bell and Sih (2007) went on to manipulate predation intensity on captive stickleback populations and demonstrated the hypothesized (causal) effect of predation intensity on selection for boldness-aggression syndromes.”
Insights for Behavioral Ecology from Behavioral Syndromes. (2008, background): “In particular, a few empirical studies suggest that boldness and aggressiveness appear to be positively correlated only in populations experiencing high predation risk (Bell, 2005; Bell and Sih, 2007; Dingemanse et al., 2007).”
A meta-analysis of correlated behaviors with implications for behavioral syndromes: relationships between particular behavioral traits (2013, background): “One possibility is that different selection forces shape each functionally distinct behavior, and the observed correlation among them in a population is the net effect of the locally acting selection processes (Wilson 1998; Bell 2005; Bell and Sih 2007).”
