ED Gleason, MJ Fuxjager, TO Oyegbile… - Frontiers in …, 2009 - Elsevier
The functions of rapid increases in testosterone seem paradoxical because they can occur
in response to different social contexts, such as male–male aggressive encounters and male …

Heritability of boldness and aggressiveness in the zebrafish
Behavioural traits that are consistent over time and in different contexts are often referred to
as personality traits. These traits influence fitness because they play a major role in foraging …

Mirror, mirror on the wall: the predictive value of mirror tests for measuring aggression in fish
The behaviour of animals towards their mirror image (“mirror test”) is routinely used as a
proxy to measure aggression levels, especially in fish. The lack of evidence for visual self …
