The effect of variation in boldness and aggressiveness on the reproductive success of zebrafish (2012, background): “1994), particularly if the fitness of an animal depends on the display of a specific behaviour in a particular situation (Brown et al. 2007).”
Individual personality traits influence group exploration in a feral guppy population (2014, methodology): “The trapdoor was then gently lifted, with boldness measured as the time taken to cross the white semicircle onto the gravel arena (Brown and Braithwaite 2004; Brown et al. 2007a; b).”
Unpredictability in food supply during early life influences boldness in fish (2010, background): “Furthermore, bold–shy behavior has a heritable component in some species, suggesting that it can be directly under selection (van Oers et al. 2004; Wright et al. 2006; Brown et al. 2007).”
Psychological Stress and Welfare in Fish (2009, background): “Overall resistance to disease can also suffer profound changes and lead to immune suppression, dramatically increasing the disease’s incidence and mortality rates (Broom & Johnson, 1993; McDonald & Milligan, 1997).”
Individual differences in cerebral lateralization are associated with shy–bold variation in the convict cichlid (2009, unknown): “Different populations of the same fish species may differ in both boldness (Brown et al. 2005) and cerebral lateralization (Brown et al. 2004, 2007a).”
Fish behavioral types and their ecological consequences (2014, unknown): “…behavioral traits are heritable, with levels of heritability that are generally lower than those for morphological traits, but roughly comparable to those measured for life-history traits (Bakker 1986; Stirling et al. 2002; Bell 2005; Brown et al. 2007; Dingemanse et al. 2009; Chervet et al. 2011).”
Boldness and behavioral syndromes in the bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus (2009, background): “This proposition is further supported by recent studies that have shown that boldness behavior can have a genetic component (Wright et al. 2006) and may therefore be heritable in some species (Drent et al. 2003; Sinn et al. 2006; Brown, Burgess, and Braithwaite, 2007).”
Correlation between boldness and body mass in natural populations of the poeciliid Brachyrhaphis episcopi (2007, background): “…is determined both by its experiences during ontogeny as well as an underlying heritable component (van Oers et al., 2004; Sinn et al., 2006; Brown et al., 2007) and is likely to be under strong selective pressure, the magnitude of which is likely to vary between habitats (Huntingford,…”
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.”
