The Evolution of Animal Domestication (2014, background): “Though many authors since Darwin (e.g., Driscoll et al. 2009, Serpell 1989, Vigne 2011, Zeuner 1963) have considered domestication through an evolutionary lens, Zeder’s (2012) establishment of the commensal, prey, and directed pathways is the first framework that allows for a comprehensive…”
Domesticating Animals in Africa: Implications of Genetic and Archaeological Findings (2011, background): “Driscoll et al. (2009) argue that cats may have to some extent self-domesticated, as individuals able to tolerate proximity to people and their activities exploited the pest-rich niche of human settlements, where they found mates among conspecifics with similar tolerances.”
Development and application of CatFACS: Are human cat adopters influenced by cat facial expressions? (2017, background): “When compared with dogs, cats have a shorter and less function-driven domestication history with humans (Vilà et al., 1997; Driscoll et al., 2009a).”
Evolution of life in urban environments (2017, background): “taxa have adapted to be specialists of human environments (1, 22).”
