Personality in captivity reflects personality in the wild (2010, background): “In directly comparing individuals between captivity and the wild, this study on blue tits joins the few similar in situ versus ex situ studies of personality (birds: Hollander et al. 2008; fish: Wilson & McLaughlin 2007; Coleman & Wilson 1998; Brown et al. 2005; molluscs: Briffa et al. 2008).”
Personality traits predict hierarchy rank in male rainbowfish social groups (2011, neutral): “One of the major axes describing differences in individual behaviour is the bold-shy continuum (Brown et al. 2005; Réale et al. 2007; Ioannou et al. 2008).”
Risk-taking behaviour in foraging perch: does predation pressure influence age-specific boldness? (2008, background): “In many fish species, antipredator behaviour is found to vary in populations with different predation risks (e.g. Giles & Huntingford 1984; Magurran 1990; Magurran & Seghers 1991; Brown et al. 2005).”
Boldness and Reproductive Fitness Correlates in the Eastern Mosquitofish, Gambusia holbrooki (2010, result): “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.”
Boldness is influenced by social context in threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) (2007, background): “Furthermore, individual variation in boldness has been seen to be correlated with body size ( Brown et al., 2005; Lopez et al., 2005), morphology and health (Lopez et al., 2005) suggesting that physiology may play a role.”
Boldness and behavioral syndromes in the bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus (2009, background): “…measure of animal personality (Hedrick 2000; Brown and Braithwaite 2004; Lopez et al. 2005; Wilson and McLaughlin 2007), the importance of this behavior and its relationship to fitness remains unclear, though some studies do exist (e.g., Brown et al. 2005; Brown, Jones, and Braithwaite 2007).”
Shoal composition determines foraging success in the guppy (2009, background): “This behavioral axis has been identified for a wide range of taxa including mammals (Svartberg 2002; Armitage and Van Vuren 2003), birds (Dingemanse et al. 2004; de Azevedo and Young 2006), fish (Huntingford 1976; Wilson et al. 1993; Coleman and Wilson 1998; Sneddon 2003; Brown et al. 2005 ), cepha”
Hastiness, brain size and predation regime affect the performance of wild guppies in a spatial memory task (2008, background): “high exploratory behaviour is correlated with higher learning ability in mice; Matzel et al. 2006) and there is ample evidence that fish can differ in these traits, both within (Wilson et al. 1993; Coleman & Wilson 1998; Fraser et al. 2001; Ward et al. 2004) and between populations (Bell 2005; Brow”
Behavioral syndrome over the boundaries of life - carryovers from larvae to adult damselfly. (2009, background): “…2001; Stapley and Keogh 2005; Dame and Petren 2006), salamanders (Sih et al. 2003), fish (Fraser et al. 2001; Overli et al. 2004; Bell 2005; Brown et al. 2005; Magnhagen and Staffan 2005; Overli et al. 2006), spiders (Johnson and Sih 2005), and insects (Hedrick 2000; Brodin and Johansson…”
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).”
Alternative foraging tactics and risk taking in brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis) (2009, methodology): “We tested our hypotheses using field observations of foraging brook charr followed by 3 sequential experiments: a field experiment examining an individual’s willingness to exit from a dark tube into an unfamiliar field environment in the presence and absence of a novel object, a measure of risk taki”
Heritable and experiential effects on boldness in a tropical poeciliid (2007, methodology): “We have already shown that fishes in highpredation areas tend to behave more boldly than their low-predation counterparts (Brown et al. 2005b), and the position of an individual along the shyness–boldness axis is highly correlated with fitness (i.e. condition factor; Brown et al. 2007).”
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).”
Environmental enrichment reduces maladaptive risk-taking behavior in salmon reared for conservation (2011, methodology): “As in most studies of boldness (e.g. Brown et al., 2005), we assigned a maximum ceiling value (900 s in our case) to those fish that did not come out of the hide for ANOVA.”
Correlation between boldness and body mass in natural populations of the poeciliid Brachyrhaphis episcopi (2007, background): “A box (190 mm high × 80 mm wide × 100 mm long, as described in Brown et al., 2005a) was positioned at the edge of the pool.”
