The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Individual sociability and choosiness between shoal types (2012, unknown): “Or, because being in a social group can reduce predation risk, more cautious individuals might exhibit a stronger preference for being in a group (Budaev 1997; Ward et al. 2004; Leblond & Reebs 2006).”
Individual personality traits influence group exploration in a feral guppy population (2014, background): “Importantly, there seem to be interindividual differences in the tendency to lead (Leblond and Reebs 2006; Harcourt et al. 2009).”
Personality counts: the effect of boldness on shoal choice in three-spined sticklebacks (2009, background): “For example, Pritchard et al. (2001) ‘created’ a low-activity shoal by cooling down one of the tank compartments, while the focal fish was kept at room temperature together with the high-activity shoal.”
Personality differences explain leadership in barnacle geese (2009, background): “…relationship between behavioural variation and leadership: in zebra finches (Beauchamp 2000; Schuett & Dall 2009) and three-spined sticklebacks (Harcourt et al. 2009) more explorative (bolder) individuals led more often, but no evidence for this was found in golden shiners (Leblond & Reebs 2006).”
