Personality differences explain leadership in barnacle geese (2009, background): “…studied the effect the personality of the companion had on the behaviour of the focal individual during the leadership test, because in group-living animals the behaviour of an individual might depend on the personality traits of its companions (e.g. Magnhagen & Staffan 2005; Sih & Watters 2005).”
The keystone individual concept: an ecological and evolutionary overview (2014, background): “In response, the majority of females (and males) cease mating and foraging entirely, and seek refuge along the water shore (Chang & Sih, 2013; Sih &Watters, 2005).”
Network position: a key component in the characterization of social personality types (2012, background): “Several experimental studies have documented evidence of such changes in social dynamics when group composition was changed by the addition of new individuals (Darden et al. 2009; Jacoby et al. 2010) or manipulations based on behavioural type (Sih and Watters 2005).”
An empiricist guide to animal personality variation in ecology and evolution (2014, background): “There are a number of other studies that similarly manipulate personality variation to assess its impact on measures of fitness (e.g., Sih and Watters, 2005; Riebli et al., 2012; Sweeney et al., 2013).”
Life history and behavioral type in the highly social cichlid Neolamprologus pulcher (2010, background): “1996;Budaev1997;SihandWatters2005;CoteandClobert2007;Websteretal.2007;Pikeetal.2008;Magnhagenand Bunnefeld 2009), but only few studies have addressed the effects in a cooperatively breeding species (e.g., Arnold et al. 2005; Bergmu¨ller & Taborsky 2007).”
Shoal composition determines foraging success in the guppy (2009, methodology): “ Sih and Watters 2005 ), we find that the behavioral composition of a group can impact on the behavior and fitness of individual BTs.”
Animal personality: what are behavioural ecologists measuring? (2013, background): “While some crossspecies studies (Mettke-Hofmann et al., 2005; Webster, Ward & Hart, 2009; Carter & Feeney, 2012) and cross-context studies (Sih, Kats & Maurer, 2003; Sih & Watters, 2005) have used this approach in behavioural ecology, they are rare and factor analysis is not a preferred method.”
Individual personality traits influence group exploration in a feral guppy population (2014, background): “The presence of hyperaggressive males in groups of water striders, for instance, reduced group reproductive success (Aquarius remigis) (Sih and Watters 2005).”
Insights for Behavioral Ecology from Behavioral Syndromes. (2008, background): “Social sensitivity should also help males to efficiently choose appropriate females to court (Sih and Watters, 2005).”
The effect of variation in boldness and aggressiveness on the reproductive success of zebrafish (2012, background): “…agonistic behaviours and are territorial (Spence et al. 2006, 2008), highly aggressive or bold males might try to outcompete and interferewith each other in gaining access to a female and so, in the end, achieve lower reproductive success than other males (e.g. water striders: Sih & Watters 2005).”
Behavioral correlations across activity, mating, exploration, aggression, and antipredator contexts in the European house cricket, Acheta domesticus (2010, background): “For example, there have been several studies on arachnids (Riechert and Hedrick 1993; Johnson and Sih 2005; Johnson and Sih 2007), cephalopods (Sinn et al. 2008), and insects (Hedrick 2000; Sih and Watters 2005; Kortet and Hedrick 2007).”
Social personality traits in chimpanzees: temporal stability and structure of behaviourally assessed personality traits in three captive populations (2011, neutral): “Such variation has been called ‘personality’ (Gosling 2001), ‘behavioural type’ (Sih and Watters 2005), ‘coping style’ (Koolhaas et al.”
Fitness consequences of personality: a meta-analysis (2008, background): “We focused on single behavioral types measured in single contexts rather than overall, context-independent personalities, or behavioral syndromes (see Figure 1 for an illustrated description of these concepts), because we found only 1 study that examined the effect of a syndrome on fitness ( Sih and”
Personality in social insects: How does worker personality determine colony personality? (2012, background): “The behavior of social groups is determined by the personalities of the individuals comprising them (Crosland, 1990; Sih and Watters, 2005; Paleolog, 2009; Kurvers et al., 2010; Pruitt and Riechert, 2011).”
