Domesticated Megafauna of Americas: Needs, Possibilities and Results [PDF]
Interdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems, 2020 The article aims to determine why so few domestic animals originated in American domestication centres. The knowledge has been gathered from interdisciplinary sources taking into account recent archaeogenomic and spatial analysis research.

Three geographically separate domestications of Asian rice [PDF]
, 2015 Domesticated rice (Oryza sativa L.) accompanied the dawn of Asian civilization(1) and has become one of world's staple crops. From archaeological and genetic evidence various contradictory scenarios for the origin of different varieties of cultivated ...

Pet dogs prefer to work alone than to engage in a challenging cooperative task with conspecifics [PDF]
PeerJUnderstanding the role of a partner is key to effective human cooperation. While we know that non-human animals extensively cooperate with each other, how well they understand the role of their partner is unclear.

Genome sequencing of the extinct Eurasian wild aurochs, Bos primigenius, illuminates the phylogeography and evolution of cattle [PDF]
, 2015 Background Domestication of the now-extinct wild aurochs, Bos primigenius, gave rise to the two major domestic extant cattle taxa, B. taurus and B. indicus.
