The history of farm foxes undermines the animal domestication syndrome
The Russian Farm-Fox Experiment is the best known experimental study in animal
domestication. By subjecting a population of foxes to selection for tameness alone, Dimitry …

Genomic responses to selection for tame/aggressive behaviors in the silver fox (Vulpes vulpes)
Animal domestication efforts have led to a shared spectrum of striking behavioral and
morphological changes. To recapitulate this process, silver foxes have been selectively bred …
