Aggressive Ural owl mothers recruit more offspring (2009, background): “Wild great tits, which defended their nests actively, were also fast in exploring a novel, artificial environment (Hollander et al. 2008).”
Personality in captivity reflects personality in the wild (2010, background): “The absence of state effects is consistent with previous work on wild great tits (Hollander et al. 2008), and encouraging for studies seeking to compare personality between individuals drawn from different times or environments.”
Behavioural profile predicts dominance status in mountain chickadees, Poecile gambeli (2009, unknown): “2004), consistent variation in individual behavioural traits such as exploratory behaviour now appears to be associated with variation in many ecologically relevant behaviours, including dispersal distance, anti-predator behaviour, aggression towards conspecifics, nest defence and response to social”
Between individual variation in risk-taking behavior and its life history consequences (2012, background): “Several studies have shown that risk taking is a component of behavioral syndromes by being correlated with exploration or aggression (e.g., van Oers et al. 2004; Ward et al. 2004; Martı́ns et al. 2007; Hollander et al. 2008; Garamszegi et al. 2009; Wilson and Godin 2009).”
Animal personality and pace-of-life syndromes: do fast-exploring fairy-wrens die young? (2015, background): “…on great tits (Parus major) has shown that exploration of an artificial novel environment is related to natal dispersal (Dingemanse et al., 2003), extra-pair mating (Van Oers et al., 2008), nest defense (Hollander et al., 2008; Cole and Quinn, 2014), and territorial defense (Amy et al., 2010).”
Handling Stress as a Measurement of Personality in Great Tit Nestlings (Parus major) (2009, background): “Fast explorers are bolder in nest defence (Hollander et al. 2008) and new situations (Verbeek et al. 1994), more aggressive towards others and more often initiate contests (Verbeek et al. 1996).”
Interspecific variation in fear responses predicts urbanization in birds (2010, background): “Several studies have shown that risk taking is a component of behavioral syndromes because it is correlated with exploratory and aggressive behavior (e.g., van Oers et al. 2004; Ward et al. 2004; Hollander et al. 2008; Garamszegi et al. 2009; Wilson and Godin 2009).”
