Identification of genes associated with human-canine communication in canine evolution

Scientific Reports, 2022
The dog (Canis familiaris) was the first domesticated animal and hundreds of breeds exist today. During domestication, dogs experienced strong selection for temperament, behaviour, and cognitive ability.

Behavioural Diversity of Fishes: Concepts, Drivers and Its Role in Conservation and Management

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human activity has altered nearly all ecosystems on Earth, contributing to substantial biodiversity loss across taxonomic, genetic and functional dimensions, from the intraspecific to the ecosystem scale. Yet some components of biodiversity remain hidden or underappreciated, including behavioural diversity.

Largely unlinked gene sets targeted by selection for domestication syndrome phenotypes in maize and sorghum

bioRxiv, 2017
The domestication of diverse grain crops from wild grasses resulted from artificial selection for a suite of overlapping traits producing changes referred to in aggregate as ”domestication syndrome”.

Genetic Determination of Maternal Behaviour in Pigs

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In sows, maternal behaviour is a commercially important trait which affects sow and piglet welfare and the quality and safety of human‐animal interactions, especially if free farrowing of sows without crates is in place. The aim of this study was to evaluate maternal behaviour and to estimate its quantitative genetic parameters in Swiss ...

Ethological Constraints and Welfare-Related Bias in Laboratory Mice: Implications of Housing, Lighting, and Social Environment

Animals
Laboratory mice are the most widely used model organisms in biomedical and behavioral research, yet growing concerns regarding reproducibility and translational validity have highlighted the substantial influence of housing and husbandry conditions on ...

Natural variation in GmSOP5 regulates seed oil and protein content during soybean domestication

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The domestication‐related gene Seed Oil and Protein 5 regulates seed oil and protein content without a yield penalty, providing insight into early soybean domestication and identifying a genetic pathway that balances the trade‐off between seed quality and yield in soybean.

Archaeogenomic insights into the adaptation of plants to the human environment : pushing plant–hominin co-evolution back to the Pliocene [PDF]

, 2015
The colonization of the human environment by plants, and the consequent evolution of domesticated forms is increasingly being viewed as a co-evolutionary plant–human process that occurred over a long time period, with evidence for the co-evolutionary ...

Pygmy marmosets (Cebuella pygmaea) do not react to varying ocular appearance

Evolutionary Human Sciences
Variation in eye pigmentation across primate species has been proposed to serve as a cue to emotional or temperamental traits, potentially shaped by processes like domestication or selection against aggression. We tested whether pygmy marmosets (Cebuella

The Domestication of the Amazon Tree Grape (Pourouma cecropiifolia) Under an Ecological Lens

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Domestication studies traditionally focus on the differences in morphological characteristics between wild and domesticated populations that are under direct selection, the components of the domestication syndrome.

The roads most traveled: genetic convergence in plant repeated evolution

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Observation of a genotype–phenotype association in a focal lineage (magnifying lens) provides a starting point for predicting homolog reuse during repeated trait evolution. This review suggests that the likelihood that mutations in homologous genes contribute to similar phenotypes in other lineages depends on both mutational effect stability (MES) and ...
