General Aspects --; Why Study Domestication? --; Domestication Defined --; Approaches to the Study of Domestication --; Pre-adaptations for Domestication --; Genetic Mechanisms Influencing Domestication --; Inbreeding --; Genetic Drift --; Artificial Selection --; Natural Selection in Captivity --; Relaxation of Natural Selection --; Variation Under Domestication --; Genetic Variability and Behavior --; Morphological and Physiological Traits --; Adaptation to the Biological Environment --; Feeding and Drinking --; Predation, Infectious Diseases and Parasites --; Interactions with Humans --; Social Environment --; Adaptation to the Physical Environment --; Climate and Shelter --; Use of Space --; Behavioral Development, Feralization and Animal Welfare --; Behavioral Development in Captive Animals --; Reintroductions and Feralization --; Welfare and Ethics.

This book synthesizes existing knowledge of the process of domestication and how captive breeding and management of wild and domestic animals have affected their behaviour and other biological traits. The emphasis is on companion animals, farm animals, laboratory animals, including aquaculture species and insects, and animals kept in zoos and wildlife parks. The topics covered are: genetic and experiential contributions to the domestication process, variation under domestication, adaptation to the biological and physical environments, behavioural development in captivity, the adaptation of captive-reared wild and domestic animals when reintroduced into the wild, and the effects of domestication on animal welfare.
