Local adaptation shapes species diversity, can be a stepping stone to ecological speciation,
and can facilitate species range expansion. Population genetic analyses, which complement …

Traditionally, the process of domestication is assumed to be initiated by humans, involve few
individuals and rely on reproductive isolation between wild and domestic forms. We …

The genetic underpinnings associated with the earliest stages of plant and animal
domestication have remained elusive. Because a genome-wide response to selection can …

Studies on domestication are blooming, but the developmental bases for the generation of
domestication traits and breed diversity remain largely unexplored. Some phenotypic …

This study identifies and analyzes statistically significant overlaps between selective sweep
screens in anatomically modern humans and several domesticated species. The results …

Yak domestication represents an important episode in the early human occupation of the
