Coupling between stress coping style and time of emergence from spawning nests in salmonid fishes: Evidence from selected rainbow trout strains (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
Correlations between behavioral and physiological traits, often referred to as stress coping styles, have been demonstrated in numerous animal groups. Such trait variations often cluster in two contrasting styles, with animals characterized as either proactive or reactive. In natural populations of salmonid fishes, emergence from spawning nests, when fry establish a territory and shifts from […]
Respiratory function in common carp with different stress coping styles: a hidden cost of personality traits?
The purpose of this study was to compare investment in structures for gas exchange in common carp, Cyprinus carpio, with different stress coping styles, which are known to differ in resting metabolic rate. Common carp were classified as proactive or reactive on the basis of rate of emergence from cover into a novel, potentially dangerous […]
