• Unpredictability in food supply during early life influences boldness in fish (2010, background): “Between-population differences in behavior are usually driven by spatial variation in environmental conditions (e.g., predation risk: Magurran 2005; food density: Dunbrack et al. 1995).”
• Competition as a selective mechanism for larger offspring size in guppies (2008, neutral): “However, as numerous factors vary across these sites (Magurran 2005, Reznick et al. 2001), the selective pressures that have led to this difference may be complex.”
• Effect of gyrodactylid ectoparasites on host behaviour and social network structure in guppies Poecilia reticulata (2011, background): “In each replicate, the introduced fish (infected or uninfected) was added to a population of eight size-matched (±2 mm) females which is representative of the natural population density of guppies in the wild (Magurran 2005).”
• Provenance and threat-sensitive predator avoidance patterns in wild-caught Trinidadian guppies (2009, methodology): “We used females as focal guppies because they tend to be more responsive to prédation threats than males (Magurran 2005).”
• Sex matters: a social context to boldness in guppies (Poecilia reticulata) (2010, background): “Given guppies are sexually dimorphic, with females generally being larger than males (Magurran 2005), it is possible that this sexual dimorphism contributes to females showing more risk-sensitive behavior (Brown et al. 2005).”
• Enrichment promotes learning in fish (2010, background): “Animal development and the evolution of behaviour patterns, morphology and life-history traits are also strongly influenced by the environment (Magurran 2005).”
• Shoal composition determines foraging success in the guppy (2009, background): “Budaev (1997) studied personality in the guppy, finding vari-”
• Sperm number and velocity affect sperm competition success in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata) (2011, background): “Surprisingly, despite the huge attention given to postcopulatory sexual selection and its mechanisms in this species (Houde 1997; Magurran 2005), specific studies aimed at understanding whether, and to what extent, sperm number and quality influence fertilization ability are still lacking, even…”
• The behaviour and ecology of the zebrafish, Danio rerio (2007, background): “This should include comparing the behaviour of zebrafish from a number of populations with different environmental parameters and predator regimes, as has been done with guppies (Magurran, 2005).”
• Widespread intraspecific organismal stoichiometry among populations of the Trinidadian guppy (2012, background): “In each stream, HP and LP populations were separated by barrier waterfalls that restrict the distribution of predators from HP environments below the barrier to LP environment above the barrier (Magurran 2005).”
