Journal ArticleDOI
Social Cognitive Evolution in Captive Foxes Is a Correlated By-Product of Experimental Domestication
Brian Hare,I. Z. Plyusnina,Natalie Ignacio,Olesya Schepina,Anna Stepika,Richard W. Wrangham,Lyudmila N. Trut +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that sociocognitive evolution has occurred in the experimental foxes, and possibly domestic dogs, as a correlated by-product of selection on systems mediating fear and aggression, and it is likely the observed social cognitive evolution did not require direct selection for improved social cognitive ability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenotypic differences in behavior, physiology and neurochemistry between rats selected for tameness and for defensive aggression towards humans.
Frank W. Albert,O. A. Shchepina,Christine Winter,Holger Römpler,Holger Römpler,Daniel Teupser,Rupert Palme,Uta Ceglarek,Jürgen Kratzsch,Reinhard Sohr,Lyudmila N. Trut,Joachim Thiery,Rudolf Morgenstern,I. Z. Plyusnina,Torsten Schöneberg,Svante Pääbo +15 more
TL;DR: These findings reinforce the notion that tameness is correlated with differences in stress response and will facilitate future efforts to uncover the genetic basis for animal tameness.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of brain gene expression levels in domesticated and wild animals
Frank W. Albert,Mehmet Somel,Miguel Carneiro,Ayinuer Aximu-Petri,Michael Halbwax,Olaf Thalmann,José Antonio Blanco-Aguiar,José Antonio Blanco-Aguiar,I. Z. Plyusnina,Lyudmila N. Trut,Rafael Villafuerte,Nuno Ferrand,Sylvia Kaiser,Per Jensen,Svante Pääbo +14 more
TL;DR: The majority of brain gene expression changes in domesticated animals are specific to the given domestication event, suggesting that the causative variants of behavioral domestication traits may likewise be different.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Influences on Brain Gene Expression in Rats Selected for Tameness and Aggression
Henrike O. Heyne,Susann Lautenschläger,Ronald M. Nelson,Francois Besnier,Maxime Rotival,Alex Cagan,Rimma Kozhemyakina,I. Z. Plyusnina,Lyudmila N. Trut,Örjan Carlborg,Enrico Petretto,Leonid Kruglyak,Svante Pääbo,Torsten Schöneberg,Frank W. Albert +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an F2 intercross of two outbred lines of rats selected for tame and aggressive behavior toward humans for >64 generations was used to identify four times more loci influencing tameness and aggression than by an approach that assumes fixation of causative alleles.
Journal ArticleDOI
An analysis of fear and aggression during early development of behaviour in silver foxes (Vulpes vulpes)
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that plasma cortisol level and the fear response are related and also that enhanced aggressiveness affects greatly the development of behaviour in the EA foxes and contributes, together with the fear reaction, to limitation of the socialisation period.
