The domestic dog has many phenotypic and behavioral forms.
Finally, the relatively novel area of behavioral epigenetics is examined, in particular with its possible relation to domestication effects.
Research in behavioral genetics is important for pig welfare.
Different tests have been developed for evaluating the temperament of cattle, pigs, and sheep and some studies appear to have conflicting results.
Dog domestication involved long-term genetic selection for behavior.
This chapter provides an overview of the current behavioral and cognitive aspects of emotions in animals and explore the impacts of emotional experiences on the animal's adaptation to its current challenging circumstances.
In these classic experiments, quail chicks were selectively bred for the behavioral traits of fear and social reinstatement.
Over-selection for production traits has caused animal welfare problems such as feather pecking in hens, tail biting in pigs, and overly aggressive animals.
This chapter describes the reproductive and maternal behaviors of different livestock species (cattle, horses, pigs, goats, and water buffalo) with an emphasis on those traits which are genetically conserved.
