• The importance of social behaviour for goat welfare in livestock farming (2010, background): “Introduction 18 Domesticated about 10,000 years ago (Mason, 1984; Zeder and Hesse, 2000), goats were 19 probably the first ruminant livestock species (Hatziminaoglou and Boyazoglu, 2004).”
• Genetics of adaptation and domestication in livestock (2005, methodology): “…used for the figure: Anonymous, 1997; Avig 2003; Diamond, 1999; Giuffra et al., 2000; Guy and Buckland, 2002; Hal 1990; MacDonnell, 2002; MacHugh et al., 1997; Mills et al., 1997; Mor Wood-Gush, 1958; Zeder and Hesse, 2000; Zeuner, 1963. production and reproduction of fish is only moderate.”
• Genes, Evolution, and Personality (2001, background): “The domestication of animals was probably not as simple a process as is sometimes assumed (Trut, 1999; Zeder and Hesse, 2000).”
• Domesticating Animals in Africa: Implications of Genetic and Archaeological Findings (2011, background): “This approach is the most dependable for defining the earliest phases of domestication from preserved physical remains (Zeder et al. 2006; Zeder and Hesse 2000).”
• Finding Fodder and Tracking Transhumance: Isotopic Detection of Goat Domestication Processes in the Near East (2012, background): “…may have also employed management strategies that resulted in intentional or unintentional selection of goats for smaller body size (Meadow 1989; Zohary, Tchernov, and Kolska-Horwitz 1998), the average reduction in goat size observed in the earliest managed goats appears to reflect shifts in…”
• Global Biodiversity Change: The Bad, the Good, and the Unknown (2012, background): “Domestication of animals was a key component of the development of agriculture, particularly in the Fertile Crescent, where sheep, goats, and pigs started being domesticated around the same time as the plants (40).”
