A Methodological Review of Personality-Related Studies in Fish: Focus on the Shy-Bold Axis of Behavior (2010, methodology): “Additionally, activity is found to be positively correlated with boldness in many species (e.g., guppies: Budaev, 1997a; three-spined stickleback: Bell, 2005; Harcourt et al., 2009; zebrafish: Moretz et al., 2007).”
Individual sociability and choosiness between shoal types (2012, unknown): “While the abovecited studies showed individual variation in shoaling tendency and the role of personality types in this variation, it is less well known how shoal composition in personality types affects individual shoal preferences in interaction with the individual’s own personality type (Harcourt”
Personality predicts social dominance in female zebra finches, Taeniopygia guttata, in a feeding context. (2011, background): “…contexts (Sih et al. 2004b), in practice most studies of animal personality consider correlations between a few traits, focusing eventually on only two aspects of personality such as, for instance, exploration and risk taking (Brodin 2009; Harcourt et al. 2009; but see Wilson et al. 2010b).”
Bolder stickleback fish make faster decisions, but they are not less accurate (2015, background): “…(i.e. leaders and followers) might be advantageous (Johnstone and Manica, 2011) and leadership roles have been linked to measures of boldness in three-spined stickleback fish, with bolder fish tending to emerge as leaders and shyer fish as followers (Harcourt et al., 2009a; Nakayama et al., 2012a).”
