TLDR
In guinea pigs the process of domestication has led to typical behavioral traits-reduced aggressiveness, increased social tolerance-which have also been found in comparisons between wild and domestic forms of other species.About:

Seasonal changes in plasma glucocorticoid concentrations in free-living vertebrates.
TL;DR: This review examines the growing evidence that GC concentrations in free-living reptiles, amphibians, and birds, but not mammals, are commonly elevated during the breeding season and test three hypotheses with different focuses on GC's energetic or behavioral effects, as well as onGC's role in preparing the animal for subsequent stressors.

The “Domestication Syndrome” in Mammals: A Unified Explanation Based on Neural Crest Cell Behavior and Genetics
TL;DR: It is proposed that the domestication syndrome results predominantly from mild neural crest cell deficits during embryonic development, which can be readily explained as direct consequences of such deficiencies, while other traits are explicable as indirect consequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Animal evolution during domestication: the domesticated fox as a model
TL;DR: Changes in behavior, morphology and physiology that appeared in the fox during its selection for tameability were similar to those observed in the domestic dog, and the developmental, genetic and possible molecular genetic mechanisms underlying these changes are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The self-domestication hypothesis: evolution of bonobo psychology is due to selection against aggression
TL;DR: The self-domestication hypothesis provides a plausible account of the origin of numerous differences between bonobos and chimpanzees, and note that many of these appear to have arisen as incidental by-products rather than adaptations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social buffering of the stress response: diversity, mechanisms, and functions.
TL;DR: It is suggested that, in addition to promoting health, social buffering may have evolved to direct the establishment of social relationships, and to facilitate developmental transitions in social interactions appropriate for different life stages.

The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication
TL;DR: On the Origin of Species (OOS) as mentioned in this paper is the seminal work of evolutionary biology, which is a masterpiece of nineteenth-century scientific investigation; it is a key text in the development of Darwin's own thought and of the wider discipline of evolution biology.

Simultaneous radioenzymatic determination of plasma and tissue adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine within the femtomole range.
Mosé Da Prada,Gerhard Zürcher +1 more
TL;DR: A radiometric-enzymatic assay for measuring simultaneously femtomole quantities of adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine has been developed and promises to be a valid alternative to the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry technique.

Behavioral Aspects of Animal Domestication
TL;DR: The objective of this review is to discuss available information on the biological basis of animal domestication, with particular emphasis on behavior, to discuss the effects of domestication on either genetic or phenotypic variability.
