As you weed, so shall you reap: on the origin of algaculture in damselfish [PDF]
, 2010 Within their territories, damselfish cultivate particular algae for consumption. A recent study in BMC Evolutionary Biology shows extensive variation among and within fish species in the composition of these algal 'gardens', varying from monocultures to ...

Superheroes and masterminds of plant domestication
Comptes Rendus. Biologies, 2016 Domestication is one of the most fundamental changes in the evolution of human societies. The geographical origins of domesticated plants are inferred from archaeology, ecology and genetic data. Scenarios vary among species and include single, diffuse or multiple independent domestications.

Evolution of root plasticity responses to variation in soil nutrient distribution and concentration
Evolutionary Applications, 2012 Root plasticity, a trait that can respond to selective pressure, may help plants forage for nutrients in heterogeneous soils. Agricultural breeding programs have artificially selected for increased yield under comparatively homogeneous soil conditions ...

Data from: Shifts in plant functional strategies over the course of wheat domestication [PDF]
, 2017 1. Human selection, changes in environmental conditions and management practices drove the phenotypic trajectory of crops during domestication. The characterization of the crop domestication syndrome lies mostly on reproductive characters.

Impact of plant domestication on rhizosphere microbiome assembly and functions. [PDF]
Plant Mol Biol, 2016 The rhizosphere microbiome is pivotal for plant health and growth, providing defence against pests and diseases, facilitating nutrient acquisition and helping plants to withstand abiotic stresses. Plants can actively recruit members of the soil microbial
