After more than 50 years of selective breeding, this ongoing research program, now led by Lyudmilla Trut, has shown that the full suite of traits constituting the DS can arise relatively quickly under selection for tameness alone, in a species having no prior history of domestication.

Jul 1, 2014 · The general combination of traits in domesticated mammals is an ensemble that we will refer to as the “domestication syndrome” (DS) (adopting a term used for domesticated crop plants, e.g., Brown et al. 2008 ).

Jun 1, 2023 · neuroscience. Why do we need a neuroscience of domestication? Domestication (see Glossary) represents one of the single largest biological shifts of life on Earth, and the biomass of livestock now outweighs that of wild mammals by more than two orders of magnitude [ 1 ].
Domestication syndrome refers to two sets of phenotypic traits that are common to either domesticated plants or domesticated animals. Domesticated animals tend to be smaller and less aggressive than their wild counterparts, they may also have floppy ears, variations to coat color, a smaller brain, and a shorter muzzle.
Sep 8, 2020 · Lord et al. [ 1. ] recently commented on the farm fox experiment, and whether it provides evidence for an animal domestication syndrome. They raise some valid points regarding the origins of the farm fox experiment and how the experiment pertains to domestication theory.
From his survey of the animal breeding work, he found that domesticated mammals in general exhibit a suite of behavioral, physiolog- ical, and morphological traits not observed in their wild forebears.
