• Personality affects zebra finch feeding success in a producer–scrounger game (2011, background): “Indeed, in foraging barnacle geese, proactive individuals are more likely to be found leading the group, while reactive individuals are more likely to follow (Kurvers et al. 2009).”
• Animal personality: what are behavioural ecologists measuring? (2013, background): “(1) Many tests for one trait Boldness is one of the most commonly measured personality traits (Conrad et al., 2011), but is perhaps the trait with least consensus over its definition.”
• Assessing dominance hierarchies: validation and advantages of progressive evaluation with Elo-rating (2011, background): “…11 (e.g., Côté & Festa-Bianchet 2001; von Holst et al. 2002; Widdig et al. 2004; Engelhardt 12 et al. 2006), and hierarchies can be found in most animal taxa including insects (e.g., 13 Kolmer & Heinze 2000), birds (e.g., Kurvers et al. 2009) and mammals (e.g., Keiper & 14 Receveur 1992).”
• Individual personality traits influence group exploration in a feral guppy population (2014, background): “that key individuals can strongly influence group decisions, with the rest of the group simply following their lead (Dyer et al. 2009b; Kurvers et al. 2009; Bode et al. 2012).”
• A meta-analysis of correlated behaviours with implications for behavioural syndromes: mean effect size, publication bias, phylogenetic effects and the role of mediator variables (2012, methodology): “1), we conducted phylogenetic meta-analyses (Adams 2008; Lajeunesse 2009) on the species-specific effects sizes, and calculated cumulative effect sizes while accounting for phylogenetic inertia.”
