Behavioral development in animals undergoing domestication
TLDR
The domestication process has frequently reduced the sensitivity of animals to changes in their environment, perhaps the single-most important change accompanying domestication, and resulted in modified rates of behavioral and physical development.About:

Integrating animal temperament within ecology and evolution.
Denis Réale,Simon M. Reader,Simon M. Reader,Daniel Sol,Daniel Sol,Peter T. McDougall,Niels Jeroen Dingemanse +6 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that temperament can and should be studied within an evolutionary ecology framework and provided a terminology that could be used as a working tool for ecological studies of temperament, which includes five major temperament trait categories: shyness‐boldness, exploration‐avoidance, activity, sociability and aggressiveness.

From mice to men: what can we learn about personality from animal research?
TL;DR: It is concluded that animal studies provide unique opportunities to examine biological, genetic, and environmental bases of personality and to study personality change, personality-health links, and personality perception.

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
Implications of domestication and rearing conditions for the behaviour of cultivated fishes
TL;DR: The evidence that such processes have produced behavioural differences between wild and cultured fishes is reviewed in relation to feeding, antipredator responses, aggression and reproductive behaviour and the concept of 'behavioural syndromes' is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid Evolution of Egg Size in Captive Salmon
TL;DR: In chinook salmon, hatchery rearing relaxes natural selection favoring large eggs, allowing fecundity selection to drive exceptionally rapid evolution of small eggs, and trends toward small eggs are also evident in natural populations heavily supplemented by hatcheries, but not in minimally supplemented populations.

Ontogeny and Phylogeny
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a clock model of Heterochrony, which is a mechanism for separating the three stages of the development of an organism: birth, growth, and death.

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.

Stereotypies: a critical review.
TL;DR: Stereotypies are repetitive, invariant behaviour patterns with no obvious goal or function as discussed by the authors, and they seem to be restricted to captive animals, mentally ill or handicapped humans, and subjects given stimulant drugs.
