When half is more than the whole: Wheat domestication syndrome reconsidered [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2022 Two opposing models currently dominate Near Eastern plant domestication research. The core area‐one event model depicts a knowledge‐based, conscious, geographically centered, rapid single‐event domestication, while the protracted‐autonomous model ...

Shared reproductive disruption, not neural crest or tameness, explains the domestication syndrome [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2023 Altered neural crest cell (NCC) behaviour is an increasingly cited explanation for the domestication syndrome in animals. However, recent authors have questioned this explanation, while others cast doubt on whether domestication syndrome even exists ...

Domestication Syndrome in Dacryodes edulis (Burseraceae): Comparison of Morphological and Biochemical Traits between Wild and Cultivated Populations [PDF]
Plants, 2022 For millennia, people have harvested fruits from the wild for their alimentation. Gradually, they have started selecting wild individuals presenting traits of interest, protecting and cultivating them.

Exploring the Domestication Syndrome Hypothesis in Dogs: Pigmentation Does Not Predict Cortisol Levels [PDF]
Animals, 2023 Simple Summary Domestic dogs have a wide variety of colorations, and previous research has found that, in certain breeds, coat color can be linked to behavior. However, it is unknown if coloration is connected to dogs’ stress responses.

Does the Domestication Syndrome Apply to the Domestic Pig? Not Completely [PDF]
Animals, 2022 Simple Summary An interesting anthropological question is whether, over the last 10,000 years, humans have domesticated animals by actually selecting the tamest and least aggressive individuals.

baz1b loss-of-function in zebrafish produces phenotypic alterations consistent with the domestication syndrome [PDF]
iScience, 2023 Summary: BAZ1B is a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein with roles in chromatin remodeling, DNA replication and repair, and transcription. Reduced BAZ1B expression disrupts neuronal and neural crest development.

Disruptive Selection of Human Immunostimulatory and Immunosuppressive Genes Both Provokes and Prevents Rheumatoid Arthritis, Respectively, as a Self-Domestication Syndrome [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Using our previously published Web service SNP_TATA_Comparator, we conducted a genome-wide study of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within core promoters of 68 human rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-related genes.

Morphology does not covary with predicted behavioral correlations of the domestication syndrome in dogs [PDF]
Evolution Letters, 2020 Domesticated animals display suites of altered morphological, behavioural and physiological traits compared to their wild ancestors, a phenomenon known as the domestication syndrome (DS).

Correlated genetic effects on reproduction define a domestication syndrome in a forest tree [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2015 Compared to natural selection, domestication implies a dramatic change in traits linked to fitness. A number of traits conferring fitness in the wild might be detrimental under domestication, and domesticated species typically differ from their ancestors

Plants cultivated for ecosystem restoration can evolve toward a domestication syndrome. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023 Significance Globally upscaling demands for native seeds for ecosystem restoration can be covered by agricultural seed propagation. Yet, agricultural practice can unintentionally select for specific traits and reduce adaptive variability, which could ...
