Insights for Behavioral Ecology from Behavioral Syndromes. (2008, background): “Critical issues that McElreath and Strimling (2006) di d not a dd re ss a re ho w m ig ht individual differences in state arise, and most importantly, why should these differences be maintained?”

Does the field of animal personality provide any new insights for behavioral ecology (2017, background): “On the one hand, a strong theoretical body of literature arose to examine how withinor among-individual differences might evolve (McElreath and Strimling 2006; Wolf et al.”
The repeatability of behaviour: a meta-analysis (2009, background): “Provided there are advantages of behaving consistently (Dall et al. 2004; McElreath & Strimling 2006), this could explain why consistent individual differences in behaviour were greater in the field.”
Shy trout grow faster: exploring links between personality and fitness-related traits in the wild (2011, unknown): “Several candidate state variables affecting personality traits have recently been suggested, including growth rate, size, skills, and experience (McElreath and Strimling 2006; Stamps 2007).”
Covariation between personalities and individual differences in coping with stress: Converging evidence and hypotheses (2010, background): “…can be maintained in a population when natural selection should eliminate all but the fittest phenotype (e.g. Wilson, 1998; Dall et al., 2004; McElreath and Strimling, 2006; Stamps, 2007; Wolf et al., 2007, 2008; Biro and Stamps, 2008; Sih and Bell, 2008; McNamara et al., 2009; Schuett et…”
Behavioural syndromes differ predictably between 12 populations of three-spined stickleback. (2007, background): “…evolution of behaviours (Lande 1979; Loeschke 1987; Arnold 1992; Bell 2005) or because selection has favoured suites of correlated behaviours (Lande 1986; Price & Langen 1992; Dall, Houston & McNamara 2004; Dingemanse & Réale 2005; McElreath & Strimling 2006; Stamps 2007; Wolf et al .”
Behavioral syndrome over the boundaries of life - carryovers from larvae to adult damselfly. (2009, result): “These predator results are interesting and offer empirical support for a model presented by McElreath and Strimling (2006).”
Personality in Non‐human Animals (2008, background): “…instance, researchers in Behavioral Ecology and Ethology are primarily interested in learning about the ecological and evolutionary implications of consistent individual differences in behavior (e.g., Bell & Stamps, 2004; Carere & Eens, 2005; Dingemanse & Reale, 2005; McElreath & Strimling, 2006).”
