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 · ‘Domesticated’ may therefore describe an entire species, or just some of the variants within a species. Where there is intraspecific variation in the degree of domestication, it is possible to study the genetic control of traits of the domestication syndrome in segregating generations of appropriate intraspecific crosses.

Jun 1, 2023 · Domesticated animals play important roles in human society, and substantial recent work has addressed the hypotheses that a domestication syndrome links phenotypes across species, including Homo sapiens. Surprisingly, however, neuroscience research on domestication remains largely disconnected from current knowledge about how and why brains ...
Oct 11, 2017 · Domestication syndrome. Investigators have searched for phenotypic characteristics common across crop plants (domestication syndromes) that may help illuminate agents of selection, as well as the order and pace of domestication. The domestication syndrome includes grain retention by loss of shattering (rice, barley, wheat, soybean), reduction ...
Jul 19, 2021 · In our usage, the “domestication syndrome” refers to a set of unexpected physical differences that frequently show up in different domesticated mammals. The phenomenon was first described, though not named, by Charles Darwin in his two-volume study of domesticated animals and plants, Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication ...
