Personality predicts social dominance in female zebra finches, Taeniopygia guttata, in a feeding context. (2011, background): “…contexts (Sih et al. 2004b), in practice most studies of animal personality consider correlations between a few traits, focusing eventually on only two aspects of personality such as, for instance, exploration and risk taking (Brodin 2009; Harcourt et al. 2009; but see Wilson et al. 2010b).”
Individual sociability and choosiness between shoal types (2012, unknown): “In some studies, the tendency to shoal is used as ametric of risk-taking behaviour (Ward et al. 2004; Wilson et al. 2010).”
Capture technique and fish personality: angling targets timid bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus (2011, unknown): “Furthermore, boldness is also correlated with fitness-related traits (Smith and Blumstein 2008; Wilson et al. 2010), can be heritable (Dingemanse et al. 2002; Brown et al. 2007), and subject to natural (Réale and Festa-Bianchet 2003) and “unnatural” (Biro and Post 2008) selection.”
Network position: a key component in the characterization of social personality types (2012, unknown): “Studies of what are generally considered social traits (i.e. cooperative or agonistic interactions) typically compare individuals dyadically (Wilson et al. 2010b) or on a hierarchical basis (i.e. more or less aggressive), but other aspects of these behavioural phenomena are often overlooked.”
