• Behavioural responses of wildlife to urban environments (2013, background): “Recently, behavioural researchers have begun to recognize that consistent individual (within-species) differences in behaviour traits (or temperament) exist among animals (Runyan & Blumstein, 2004; Van Oers et al., 2004; Reale et al., 2007; Martin & Reale, 2008; Evans et al., 2010).”
• Understanding variation in behavioural responses to human-induced rapid environmental change: a conceptual overview (2013, background): “Bolder animals have higher response thresholds for avoiding danger and should thus be more likely to exploit novel opportunities (e.g. invade urban habitats: Møller 2008, 2010; McCleery 2009; Evans et al. 2010) than fearful, reactive individuals, but also more likely to ignore novel predators.”
• Stress responsiveness, age and body condition interactively affect flight initiation distance in breeding female eiders (2012, unknown): “95 (Carrete & Tella 2010; Carter et al. 2010; Evans et al. 2010).”
• Ecological implications of behavioural syndromes. (2012, background): “Using flight initiation distance (the distance that animals allow humans to approach before fleeing) as a measure of boldness, recent studies found that urban birds tend to be bolder than rural counterparts (Evans et al. 2010; Moller 2010) and that cautious species (that flee before humans come clos”
• Dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) in urban ecosystems: A review (2016, background): “Urban adapters and exploiters among invertebrates would be predicted to exhibit syndromes involving multiple behavioural responses such as increased boldness, that is, being willing to take more risks (Lowry et al., 2013) like those exhibited by vertebrates (e.g. song sparrows, Evans et al., 2010).”
