This study investigates the genetic basis of shy-bold behaviour and plastic response to predator cues in Neocaridina davidi, finding genetic variance and plasticity but no genotype-by-environment interaction.

This study shows that predators improve hunting success through experience, but faster prey reduces expertise acquisition, mediated by prey speed.

This paper quantifies the impact of indirect genetic effects (IGEs) on heritable variation and evolutionary potential across 21 species, finding IGEs significantly increase heritability and are most prominent for behaviors.
