The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Boldness, trappability and sampling bias in wild lizards (2012, background): “For example, a bold and aggressive individual may receive a benefit when competing with conspecifics over limited resources (Pruitt et al. 2008; Short & Petren 2008).”
Personality traits predict hierarchy rank in male rainbowfish social groups (2011, unknown): “For example, bold geckos, Lepidodactylus lugubris, are less active but have higher foraging rates (Short & Petren 2008) and female guppies, Poecilia reticulata, prefer to associate with bold males (Godin & Dugatkin 1996).”
Agamas exhibit behavioral syndromes: bolder males bask and feed more but may suffer higher predation (2010, background): “For example, bolder individuals may gain greater access to resources by being more dominant (Harfmann-Short and Petren 2008; Pruitt et al. 2008) but may also incur a greater risk of predation (Dugatkin 1992; but see Godin and Davis 1995; Bremner-Harrison et al.”
Animal personality: what are behavioural ecologists measuring? (2013, background): “…that a bolder individual may receive a benefit by outcompeting conspecifics to gain greater access to resources (Pruitt, Riechert & Jones, 2008; Short & Petren, 2008), but bolder animals may also take more risks making them more susceptible to predation (Bremner-Harrison, Prodohl & Elwood,…”
