Genomic signatures of adaptive introgression from European mouflon into domestic sheep

Scientific Reports, 2017
Mouflon (Ovis aries musimon) became extinct from mainland Europe after the Neolithic, but remnant populations from the Mediterranean islands of Corsica and Sardinia have been used for reintroductions across Europe since the 19th-century.

Convergent genomic signatures of domestication in sheep and goats [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2018
AbstractThe evolutionary basis of domestication has been a longstanding question and its genetic architecture is becoming more tractable as more domestic species become genome-enabled. Before becoming established worldwide, sheep and goats were domesticated in the fertile crescent 10,500 years before present (YBP) where their wild relatives remain ...

Impact of sea transport on animal welfare: Assessing the welfare and feeding behaviour of horned and polled sheep and cattle during export [PDF]

, 2008
The social and feeding behaviours of sheep and cattle segregated according to whether they had horns were investigated during live shipment, to determine the effects of mixing animals with and without horns within specification.

Globally dispersed Y chromosomal haplotypes in wild and domestic sheep

, 2006
To date, investigations of genetic diversity and the origins of domestication in sheep have utilised autosomal microsatellites and variation in the mitochondrial genome.

Proteinase K-Resistant Material in ARR/VRQ Sheep Brain Affected with Classical Scrapie Is Composed Mainly of VRQ Prion Protein [PDF]

, 2011
Classical scrapie is a prion disease in sheep and goats. In sheep, susceptibility to disease is genetically influenced by single amino acid substitutions.

No silver bullet? Snow leopard prey selection in Mt. Kangchenjunga, Nepal

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
In this study, we investigated the impact of domestic and wild prey availability on snow leopard prey preference in the Kangchenjunga Conservation Area of eastern Nepal—a region where small domestic livestock are absent and small wild ungulate prey are ...

Where, why and how carnivores kill domestic animals in different parts of their ranges: An example of the Eurasian lynx

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Human-carnivore conflicts over predation on domestic animals are a global challenge. Knowledge of determinants and patterns of predation on domestic animals is an essential prerequisite to develop and apply effective interventions against carnivores. Yet,

Mouflon and Domestic Sheep Phylogeny: Ancestry, Domestication, and Evolutionary Dynamics

Life
The ancestry of domestic species from their closest wild relatives is one of the most debated and intriguing topics in evolutionary genetics. This review synthesizes current scientific understanding of the phylogenetic relationships between wild mouflon populations and domestic sheep (Ovis aries).

GENETIC HISTORY OF SHEEP DOMESTICATION

Eurasian Journal of Applied Biotechnology, 2018
Domestication of sheep in the Fertile Crescent region of the Near East is an important evolutionary and historical event. Modern DNA analysis of sheep remains can complement knowledge obtained through morphological analysis at archaeological sites. In particular, investigation of mitochondrial DNA and endogenous retroviral sequences are widely used for
