Domestication can be defined as the adaptation of an animal to the human environment and
its constraints. Accumulating evidence strongly indicates that domestication plays essential …

Consistent individual differences in behavior [ie, behavioral types (BTs)], are common
across the animal kingdom. Consistency can make behavior an adaptive trait for mate …

Structural variants (SVs) are a major source of genetic and phenotypic variation, but remain
challenging to accurately type and are hence poorly characterized in most species. We …

Nile tilapia belongs to the second most cultivated group of fish in the world, mainly because
of its favorable characteristics for production. Genetic improvement programs and …

Domestic animals are ubiquitous. In contrast to the biodiversity crisis currently impacting
many kinds of animals and plants, not a single domesticated species is endangered …

Animal domestication and artificial selection give rise to gradual changes at the genomic
level in populations. Subsequent footprints of selection, known as selection signatures or …

Fish domestication progresses through five levels: from the initial acclimatization to captivity
(Level 1), to the life cycle completion in captivity (Level 4), and even to the implementation of …

Inhibitory control (IC) is the ability to overcome impulsive or prepotent but ineffective
responses in favour of more appropriate behaviours. The ability to inhibit internal …

Background Evolutionary processes leave footprints along the genome over time. Highly
homozygous regions may correspond to positive selection of favorable alleles, while …

Threatened fish populations worldwide are relying on stock supplementation by hatchery‐
reared fish. Although stocking with non‐native fish may lead to hybridization, thereby …
