Passive gear‐induced timidity syndrome in wild fish populations and its potential ecological and managerial implications (2017, unknown): “When older and larger individuals are bolder through lower predation risk (Brown et al. 2007), selectively removing these individuals may leave behind a group composed of younger, less experienced individuals, reducing the quality of collective information.”
Heritable and experiential effects on boldness in a tropical poeciliid (2007, methodology): “Recent investigations suggest that variation in individual behaviour may not be randomly scattered around a locally adaptive behavioural average, rather, they represent adaptive individual behavioural strategies (Dall et al. 2004; Brown et al. 2007).”
Behavioral correlations across activity, mating, exploration, aggression, and antipredator contexts in the European house cricket, Acheta domesticus (2010, background): “Reduced access to mates has been shown to increase male – male aggressiveness as well as increase mating frequency relative to males with unfettered access to females (Brown et al. 2007a, b).”
Boldness and behavioral syndromes in the bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus (2009, background): “…measure of animal personality (Hedrick 2000; Brown and Braithwaite 2004; Lopez et al. 2005; Wilson and McLaughlin 2007), the importance of this behavior and its relationship to fitness remains unclear, though some studies do exist (e.g., Brown et al. 2005; Brown, Jones, and Braithwaite 2007).”
Sex matters: a social context to boldness in guppies (Poecilia reticulata) (2010, background): “Several studies have shown that bold individuals explore novel environments more quickly and have faster growth rates than shy ones (Krause et al. 1999; Fraser et al. 2001; Ward et al. 2004; Westerberg et al. 2004; Brown et al. 2007).”
Personality traits predict hierarchy rank in male rainbowfish social groups (2011, unknown): “Boldness is considered a major personality trait and has been linked to a number of fitness measures including condition factor, diet, exposure to predators and parasite load (Wilson et al. 1993; Brown & Braithwaite 2004; Brown et al. 2007).”
Personality counts: the effect of boldness on shoal choice in three-spined sticklebacks (2009, background): “Evidence suggests that boldness may be associated with fitness characteristics such as exploration, activity and body weight ( 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).”
