Heritable and experiential effects on boldness in a tropical poeciliid (2007, background): “around a locally adaptive behavioural average, rather, they represent adaptive individual behavioural strategies (Dall et al. 2004; Brown et al. 2007).”
Glucocorticoid-Mediated Phenotypes in Vertebrates : Multilevel Variation and Evolution (2016, background): “For this reason, there has been considerable recent research in behavioral ecology describing behavioral syndromes, ie, the stability and covariation of multiple behavioral traits in a population (Dall et al., 2004; Sih et al., 2004).”
Effects of group size and personality on social foraging: the distribution of sheep across patches (2009, background): “The shy–bold continuum has been studied in relation to individual fitness in several species (Dall et al. 2004; Sih et al. 2004; Bell 2007).”
Covariation between personalities and individual differences in coping with stress: Converging evidence and hypotheses (2010, background): “How can we explain from an ultimate point of view these consistent individual differences in behaviour and physiology? This question has recently attracted great interest from evolutionary biologists, seeking to understand how a mixture of behavioural phenotypes can be maintained in a population whe”
Fish behavioral types and their ecological consequences (2014, neutral): “These studies provide a broader context in which to view the results from fishes, and we refer readers to publications by Réale et al. (2000), Dall et al. (2004), and Dingemanse and Réale (2005), as well as the review papers cited in the Introduction, as an entry point to the literature on animal…”
Shy trout grow faster: exploring links between personality and fitness-related traits in the wild (2011, positive): “However, several hypotheses have been recently proposed to explain the phenomenon (Dall et al. 2004; Sih et al. 2004; Dingemanse and Reale 2005; Wolf et al. 2007; Biro and Stamps 2008).”
Interindividual variability in habitat use: evidence for a risk management syndrome in roe deer? (2015, background): “The capacity of individuals to cope with environmental variation may affect the persistence of populations, notably in human-modified landscapes (Dall et al. 2004).”
Pairs of zebra finches with similar ‘personalities’ make better parents (2011, background): “There is increasing interest in the evolution and maintenance of consistent, stable, individual differences in behaviour across time and/or contexts (‘personality’) in many animals (e.g. Dall et al. 2004; Sih et al. 2004; Stamps & Groothuis 2010).”
Behavioral types as predictors of survival in Trinidadian guppies (Poecilia reticulata) (2010, background): “Microhabitat adaptation (Buchholz and Clemmons 1997; Wilson 1998) and frequency-dependent selection (Wilson et al. 1994; Dall et al. 2004) also may lead to balancing selection (Futuyma 1998) on alternative phenotypes within and between populations.”
Social personality traits in chimpanzees: temporal stability and structure of behaviourally assessed personality traits in three captive populations (2011, positive): “Animal personality is increasingly important in behavioural, evolutionary and theoretical ecology (e.g., Dall et al. 2004; McNamara et al. 2009; Réale et al. 2010; Sih et al. 2004), comparative psychology (Gosling 2001; Weiss et al. 2007; Uher 2008), and applied behavioural sciences (Ruis et al.…”
The repeatability of behaviour: a meta-analysis (2009, background): “Within the field of animal behaviour, there is growing interest in consistent individual differences in behaviour (Dall et al. 2004; Sih et al. 2004a, b; Dingemanse & Reale 2005; Bell 2007; Reale et al. 2007).”
Factors affecting individual participation in group-level aggression among non-human primates (2007, neutral): “Whether personality traits are adaptive is the topic of increasing interest for theoretical and empirical biologists (e.g., Dall et al., 2004).”
Contribution of genetics to the study of animal personalities: a review of case studies (2005, background): “A rapidly increasing number of studies demonstrate that this thinking may have consequences for many current ecological models (Dall et al., 2004; Sih et al., 2004a) and some have shown that these behavioural differences shape variation in decisions of individual animals and thereby also in life-his”
