Apr 2, 2014 · Background Studies of domestication enables a better understanding of human cultures, landscape changes according to peoples’ purposes, and evolutionary consequences of human actions on biodiversity. This review aimed at discussing concepts, hypotheses, and current trends in studies of domestication of plants, using examples of cases studied in regions of Mesoamerica and Brazil. We analyzed ...

Domestication syndrome refers to two sets of phenotypic traits that are common to either domesticated plants [1] [2] or domesticated animals. [3] 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.

Aug 31, 2007 · However, domestication (or at least incipient or semi-domestication) without cultivation may occur by selective removal of undesirable phenotypes and/or enhancement of desirable phenotypes in wild populations, thus changing the proportion of phenotypes in the managed populations, as described by Casas et al. (1997, 1999) and Anderson (2004) for ...

Jun 3, 2019 · Domesticated animals vary profoundly in their basic ecology and domestication history (e.g. cats 58), and together with the continuous subjection to strong, species-specific and human-induced ...
Jan 28, 2021 · Since plant and landscape domestication are the consequences of very basic human behaviors and associated practices, we suggest that the majority of these ethnic groups managed the plants that most interested them, sometimes only as a result of landscape domestication, which can result in incipient changes in the domestication syndrome , and ...

Mar 9, 2011 · The domestication of a plant species refers to the various genetic modifications to a wild progenitor which have been selected as the plant form has been modified to meet human needs (Doebley et al. 2006). Studying domestication provides a glimpse of the history of the selection and improvement made by our forebears over several thousands of ...

Jul 19, 2021 · The final element of our hypothesis concerns the possible connection between the physical traits of the domestication syndrome and the behavioral changes that constitute domesticated behavior. We proposed that it involved NCC gene mutations that produce pleiotropic effects on the physical traits of the domestication syndrome and these behaviors.
