• Diet preference for grass and legumes in free-ranging domestic sheep and cattle: Current theory and future application (2006, background): “…domesticated sheep and cattle are usually protected from predators, and their domestication has lead to a reduction in anti-predator responses (Mignon-Grasteau et al., 2005), they still exhibit some predator-avoidance strategies that are similar to wild animals (Dwyer, 2004; Boissy et al., 2005).”
• Genetics of adaptive traits in heifers and their relationship to growth, pubertal and carcass traits in two tropical beef cattle genotypes (2009, background): “However, it was also reported that when handled early in life Brahmans become extremely docile because of a taming effect (Boissy et al. 2005).”
• Genetics of adaptation in domestic farm animals: a review (2010, background): “For instance, fear-related reactions affect sexual and maternal behaviors and social dominance ability in cattle and sheep (Boissy et al., 2005).”
• A critical review of fear tests used on cattle, pigs, sheep, poultry and horses. (2007, background): “In addition, heritability of fearfulness has been reported in Comment citer ce document : Forkman, B., Boissy, laboratory species (reviewed by Ramos and Mormède, [11]) and in farm species (reviewed by Boissy et al. [12]).”
• Integrating animal temperament within ecology and evolution (2007, methodology): “The study of temperament (or personality) differences has proven utility at many levels of society: from improvements in animal production, welfare, and conservation, to pharmacology, and, in humans, to prediction of disease risk, job satisfaction, risk-taking behaviour, and reaction to social stres”
