Based on claims that dogs are less aggressive and show more sophisticated socio-cognitive
skills compared with wolves, dog domestication has been invoked to support the idea that …

The grey wolf (C anis lupus) is an iconic large carnivore that has increasingly been
recognized as an apex predator with intrinsic value and a keystone species. However …

The grey wolf (Canis lupus) was the first species to give rise to a domestic population, and
they remained widespread throughout the last Ice Age when many other large mammal …

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

The gray wolf (Canis lupus) is a widely distributed top predator and ancestor of the domestic
dog. To address questions about wolf relationships to each other and dogs, we assembled …

The process and timing of initial dog domestication is an important topic in human evolution
and one which has inspired much recent debate. Findings of putative domesticated dogs …

Previous genetic studies of the highly mobile grey wolf (Canis lupus) found population
structure that coincides with habitat and phenotype differences. We hypothesized that these …

Disentangling the contribution of long‐term evolutionary processes and recent
anthropogenic impacts to current genetic patterns of wildlife species is key to assessing …

Genomes retain evidence of the demographic history and evolutionary forces that have
shaped populations and drive speciation. Across island systems, contemporary patterns of …

To adjust breeding programs for local, commercial, and fancy breeds, and to implement
molecular (marker-assisted) breeding, a proper comprehension of phenotypic and genotypic …
