• Heritable and experiential effects on boldness in a tropical poeciliid (2007, neutral): “These fish provide an excellent system in which to investigate how boldness varies under contrasting levels of selection pressure ( Brown and Braithwaite 2004; Brown et al. 2005b; Brown et al. 2007).”
• Development of boldness and docility in yellow-bellied marmots (2013, neutral): “Juvenile, or smaller, poeciliid fish (Brachyraphis episcopi) were also found to be bolder than larger individuals, suggesting there is a trade-off between growth and potential mortality (Brown & Braithwaite 2004).”
• Correlated behaviour and stress physiology in fish exposed to different levels of predation pressure (2012, neutral): “Thus, we had three replicate high and three replicate low-predation populations in total (Rio Limbo, Rio Macho and Rio Quedebra Juan Grande (QJG); see Brown & Braithwaite 2004).”
• Lateralized female topminnows can forage and attend to a harassing male simultaneously (2006, neutral): “Indeed, recent research has shown that individuals within a population may differ in their antipredator behavior (Brodie and Russel, 1999; Brown and Braithwaite, 2004).”
• Shoal composition determines foraging success in the guppy (2009, neutral): “Similar to Brown and Braithwaite (2004) , we find a positive relationship between body length and time to resume swimming, suggesting that smaller fish are bolder.”
• Individual leadership and boldness in shoals of golden shiners (Notemigonus crysoleucas) (2006, neutral): “…relied on a variety of tests to score boldness (e.g., showing a new object: Verbeek et al., 1994; Wright et al., 2003; showing a new food type: Coleman & Wilson, 1998; showing a threatening stimulus: Magnhagen & Staffan, 2005; or placing in a totally new environment: Brown & Braithwaite, 2004).”
• Boldness and Reproductive Fitness Correlates in the Eastern Mosquitofish, Gambusia holbrooki (2010, neutral): “These findings corroborate those of recent studies on refuge-emergence behaviour in another poeciliid fish (Brown & Braithwaite 2004; Brown et al. 2005, 2007b), wherein smaller individuals tended to be bolder.”
• Animal personality: what are behavioural ecologists measuring? (2013, neutral): “The open-field test is frequently used to measure activity-exploration (for example, Boyer et al., 2010) or boldness (for example, Brown & Braithwaite, 2004) and involves quantifying aspects of an animal’s behaviour after being introduced to an open and novel environment.”
• Intraspecific food competition in fishes (2006, neutral): “Studies on a number of species including the poecilid fish, Brachyraphis episcopi (Brown and Braithwaite 2004), the banded killifish (F. diaphanus) (Dowling and Godin 2002) and the threespined stickleback (Krause et al. 1998) have shown that the latency of fish to exit a refuge is positively 246…”
• Boldness–exploration behavioral syndrome: interfamily variability and repeatability of personality traits in the young of the convict cichlid (Amatitlania siquia) (2015, neutral): “These behavioral measures are commonly used to assess individual boldness in fishes (e.g., Brown and Braithwaite 2004; Brown et al. 2005; Wilson and Godin 2009), as they represent exposure to predation in open habitat and risk-taking behavior in the face of a potential predation threat (Lima and…”
• Personality traits predict hierarchy rank in male rainbowfish social groups (2011, neutral): “Boldness is considered a major personality trait and has been linked to a number of fitness measures including condition factor, diet, exposure to predators and parasite load (Wilson et al. 1993; Brown & Braithwaite 2004; Brown et al. 2007).”
• Development of shy/bold behaviour in squid: context-specific phenotypes associated with developmental plasticity (2008, neutral): “Consistent shy/bold variation between individuals often covaries with growth (Ward et al. 2004), body size ( Brown & Braithwaite 2004 ), dispersal (Fraser et al. 2001), recruitment (Armitage & Van Vuren 2003), survival (Reale & Festa-Bianchet 2003; Dingemanse et al. 2004) and reproductive success (B”
• The influence of early experience on, and inheritance of, cerebral lateralization (2007, neutral): “The predation regime these fish live under has a substantial bearing on a number of traits including life history, spatial-learning abilities, boldness and stress responses (Jennions & Telford 2002; Brown & Braithwaite 2004, 2005; Brown et al. 2005a, b).”
• How not to measure boldness: novel object and antipredator responses are not the same in wild baboons (2012, neutral): “…also frequently assessed through other means, including individual responses to novel objects (Mettke-Hofmann et al. 2005) and novel environments (Brown & Braithwaite 2004; Dingemanse et al. 2004), and by observer assessment under natural conditions (Wielebnowski 1999; Bergvall et al. 2011;…”
