Using the movement patterns of reintroduced animals to improve reintroduction success (2014, background): “4 Individual variation in movement behavior Animals’ ‘temperament’ or ‘personality’ refers to relatively consistent individual dispositions over time and across contexts that underlie and modulate the expression of behavior (McDougall et al., 2006).”
Fitness consequences of personality: a meta-analysis (2008, background): “Such a scenario may reduce variation in personality traits and select for traits that are maladaptive when animals are released back into the wild (McDougall et al. 2005).”
Landscape connectivity and animal behavior: functional grain as a key determinant for dispersal (2007, neutral): “If mortality or deferred costs change according to habitat loss and fragmentation, the balance between those two strategies should disappear and shy, resident individuals should be favored (McDougall et al. 2006).”
Integrating animal temperament within ecology and evolution (2007, neutral): “…to social stress (Boissy & Bouissou, 1995; Le Neindre, Boivin & Boissy, 1996; Caspi et al., 1997; Grandin, 1998; Martin, 1998; Carlstead, Mellen & Kleiman, 1999; Trut, 1999; Malmkvist & Hansen, 2001; Boissy et al., 2005; Boyce & Ellis, 2005; Ellis, Jackson & Boyce, 2006; McDougall et al., 2006).”
Carnivore mammals in a fragmented landscape in northeast of São Paulo State, Brazil (2008, background): “Recent studies have shown that animals may adapt to modiWcations to their original habitats (Sánchez-Hernandez et al. 2001; Tabeni and Ojeda 2005; Morán-López et al. 2006; McDougal et al. 2006); in this study, the species C.”
Temperament, risk assessment and habituation to novelty in eastern chipmunks, Tamias striatus (2008, background): “…behavioural ecology of wild animals (e.g. predator recognition: Rainey et al. 2004; territoriality: Bee & Schachtman 2000; wildlife conservation: McDougall et al. 2006) and has already been observed on other species in open-field tests (Archer 1973; Dingemanse et al. 2002; Elliott & Grunberg…”
Wild-bird trade and exotic invasions: a new link of conservation concern? (2008, background): “Perhaps more importantly, cultural knowledge, anti-predator, and foraging behaviors, which constitute important skills in the wild, can be eroded in captivity (McDougall et al. 2006).”
Should we consider individual behavior differences in applied wildlife conservation studies (2017, background): “, 2016), how individuals will cope with handling, translocation, and reintroduction (Mason, 2010; McDougall et al., 2006), and the success of conservation efforts such as habitat restoration, corridor designs and crossing structures (Caro, 2007).”
Environmental enrichment reduces maladaptive risk-taking behavior in salmon reared for conservation (2011, background): “Captive rearing, however, can result in domestication (the adaptation of organisms to the captive environment) due to artificial selection, lack of behavioral feedbacks and abnormally high survival rates (Price, 1999; McDougall et al., 2006), rendering artificially-reared animals poorly suited to su”
Causes of mortality in North American populations of large and medium‐sized mammals (2011, background): “Recent studies have shown that hunting by humans can result in changes in movement patterns (Sudharsan, Riley & Winterstein, 2006; Keuling, Stier & Roth, 2008), demographics (Milner, Nilsen & Andreassen, 2007) and temperament (McDougall et al., 2006).”
Personality in Non‐human Animals (2008, background): “Researchers in applied fields like Applied Ethology focus on practical issues like predicting working dog performance (e.g., Maejima et al., 2007; Svartberg, 2005) and applications in animal welfare and management (e.g., McDougall, Reale, Sol, & Reader, 2006; Watters & Meehan, 2007).”
