Fish behavioral types and their ecological consequences (2014, unknown): “Bolder individuals were found to have fewer total social connections and the average strength of the connections they had were weaker than those of shyer individuals (Croft et al. 2009).”
Environmental challenge and animal agency. (2011, background): “It has long been recognized that individual animals respond to challenges in different ways, and this fact has been the focus of intensive study over the past two decades, often under headings such as ‘individual difference’, ‘coping style’, or ‘temperament’ (Croft et al., 2009; Jones and Godin, 201”
Network position: a key component in the characterization of social personality types (2012, background): “2010), surprisingly few studies have attempted to characterize such a relationship (Pike et al. 2008; Croft et al. 2009), and fewer still have described network position in terms of personality (but see Lusseau and Newman 2004).”
Social network analysis of mixed-species flocks: exploring the structure and evolution of interspecific social behaviour (2012, background): “For example, wild guppies, Poecilia reticulata, exhibit greaterassociation strengths that are temporallymore stable inhigherpredation risk environments (Kelleyet al. 2011) andexhibit both behavioural (Croft et al. 2009) and physical (Croft et al. 2005) assortment.”
Chimps of a feather sit together: chimpanzee friendships are based on homophily in personality (2014, result): “In addition, our hypothesis of the evolutionary benefits of homophily is consistent with the positive group-level assortment with regard to boldness in fish (Croft et al., 2009; Schürch, Rothenberger, & Heg, 2010), and the similarity in personality of mating partners in many species (Dingemanse et a”
Female bisexual kinship ties maintain social cohesion in a dolphin network (2010, background): “For example, in guppies, Poecilia reticulata, Croft et al. (2009) found that individuals that were shy and engaged in less risky behaviour in the presence of predators generally associated within a larger social network and formed stronger associations than bold individuals.”
Where Next? Group Coordination and Collective Decision Making by Primates (2011, background): “, heterogeneity in contact patterns by behavioral traits may act as an amplifier of selection contributing to the maintenance of cooperation during predator inspection (Croft et al. 2009).”
Measuring phenotypic assortment in animal social networks: weighted associations are more robust than binary edges (2014, background): “Yet, one of the simplest and most consequential social network measures, assortative mixing (Newman, 2002a), has been relatively unexplored in animal behaviour, particularly outside of fishes (see Croft et al., 2012; Croft et al., 2009).”
Constructing, conducting and interpreting animal social network analysis (2015, background): “An example of the latter is Croft et al. (2009), who used both high and low thresholds to investigate assortment by behavioural type.”
Shark personalities? Repeatability of social network traits in a widely distributed predatory fish (2014, background): “2011) and have also been explored in relation to social network structure (Pike et al. 2008; Croft et al. 2009; Krause et al. 2010).”
Sampling animal association networks with the gambit of the group (2009, unknown): “For example, Croft et al. (2009) studied associations in a wild population of Trinidadian guppies, finding that strong ties were positively assorted and weak ties were negatively assorted by behavioral trait.”
