The relation between social rank, neophobia and individual learning in starlings (2006, unknown): “None the less, these results, combined with previous findings (Coleman & Wilson 1998), suggest that novelty responses may not be a simple unitary trait that is consistent across situations (Greenberg 2003).”
Problem-solving performance is correlated with reproductive success in a wild bird population (2013, background): “Personality traits can interfere with the process of innovation (Greenberg 2003).”
Innovative problem solving in wild meerkats (2012, background): “At a proximal level, innovative tendencies will be affected by emotional responses (e.g. neophobia towards novel objects; Greenberg 2003) and motivation, as well as learning capacities.”
Effects of Group Size on Approach to Novel Objects in Ravens (Corvus corax) (2006, background): “While neophobia may reduce exposure to danger, it can also limit explorative behaviour and constrain exploitation of novel food sources, learning and innovation (Seferta et al. 2001; Greenberg 2003; Reader & Laland 2003).”
Integrating animal temperament within ecology and evolution (2007, methodology): “This hypothesis was confirmed with wild-caught individuals from two other species, although work on naı̈ve captive-reared birds provided contrary results (Greenberg, 2003).”
The origin and spread of innovations in starlings (2008, background): “In addition, we consider individual characteristics such as novelty responses, which might affect the latency with which individuals exploit novel resources or address new problems (Webster & Lefebvre 2001; Greenberg 2003).”
A comparison of innovative problem-solving abilities between wild and captive spotted hyaenas, Crocuta crocuta (2013, background): “For example, captive primates demonstrated less neophobia, defined as an aversion to novel stimuli (Greenberg 1983, 2003; Bergman & Kitchen 2009), to novel objects than did their wild counterparts by Elsevier Ltd.”
Neophobia is not only avoidance: improving neophobia tests by combining cognition and ecology (2015, background): “Problems with neophobia tests Operationally, neophobia can be divided into the fear of novel objects, spaces and foods [6].”
