(The domestication of) Nordic domestication?1 [PDF]

open access: yesNordic Journal of Media Studies, 2020
The domestication concept, originally developed in Britain in the context of media appropriation in households’ everyday life, has seen a relatively high uptake in the Nordic countries from early on. This was by far not only an application of the concept,

Village dogs match pet dogs in reading human facial expressions [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2023
Most studies on dogs’ cognitive skills in understanding human communication have been conducted on pet dogs, making them a role model for the species. However, pet dogs are just a minor and particular sample of the total dog world population, which would

The Landscape of Long Non-Coding RNAs Provides Insights Into the Domestication and Improvement of Pear Fruit. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Sci (Weinh)
This study reveals that long non‐coding RNAs represent important regulatory components underlying pear domestication and improvement. Integrative multi‐omics analyses identify selected lncRNAs associated with fruit traits, while functional validation uncovers a lignin‐related lncRNA, lncRNA‐pys, that promotes lignin accumulation.

A genetic perspective on the domestication continuum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
For the sake of simplicity, genetic studies have generally modelled domestication within a framework of strong bottlenecks (also called founder events), reproductive isolation between wild and domestic populations and strong artificial selection. New DNA

Differences in persistence between dogs and wolves in an unsolvable task in the absence of humans [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Despite being closely related, dogs perform worse than wolves in independent problem-solving tasks. These differences in problem-solving performance have been attributed to dogs’ greater reliance on humans, who are usually present when problem-solving ...

An Artificially Selected Cytokinin-Pathway Transcription Factor Balances Soybean Yield and Pathogen Resistance. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Sci (Weinh)
A cytokinin pathway transcription factor, RR2b, was artificially selected during soybean domestication and improvement based on its differential transcriptional activity, which correlates with ATT repeat polymorphisms in its promoter. RR2b balances yield and defense by fine‐tuning its expression level and offers a promising target for decoupling trade ...

The archaeology of reindeer domestication and herding practices in northern Fennoscandia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Animal domestication is a profound change for human societies, economies, and worldviews. The shifting definitions of animal domestication reflect its varying and process-like nature.

Perceived reward attainability may underlie dogs’ responses in inequity paradigms

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Dogs have repeatedly been shown to give their paw to an experimenter more times for no reward when a rewarded conspecific partner is absent than when a rewarded conspecific is present, thereby showing inequity aversion.
