[*Quotes/highlights:*] “This tragic, life-diminishing spinoff of our ability to gather & accumulate excessive ‘things’ was a desire to control even those of our own species: Our fellow humans became the last targets of our mania for control.” []

Si vous dites : "X génère telles nuisances" alors que ces nuisances sont induites par le comportement de Y qui exploite X et en tire profit (au détriment des intérêts de X) ; alors vous stigmatisez X (déjà victime), sans toucher Y (pourtant cause du problème).

Je parle ici (même si ça fonctionne avec bien des cas) des énoncés selon lesquels les "animaux de compagnie" seraient des "catastrophes écologiques", "responsables du réchauffement climatique", etc.

It became the major allele in wolves, making them bigger than other canids, probably during the last ice age. However, the small allele never disappeared.
During the #domestication time, humans created the first small dogs using the ancestral small allele that still existing in wolves. We found it in a 9,500 year old dog sample. Today this small allele is the major allele in modern dogs, in 75% of small breeds < 15kg
Excited to share our story about an ancestral mutation in a #lncrna antisense of IGF1, that appeared over 50,000 years ago in #wolves, and that impacts modern #dogs and wild canids body size. It's out in @CurrentBiology. cell.com/current-biolog…

Does #domestication (reduced reactive aggression) potentiate vocal learning? If so, how exactly does this happen?

Kaz Okanoya has done extensive work documenting differences between the songs of the domesticated Bengalese finch and the songs of its wild relative, the white-dumped munia.
Various measures point to increased variability and 'complexity' in the song of the Bengalese finch.

We built on work @Thomas_ORourke and I did showing that the glutamate neurotransmitter system is disproportionately targeted in the evolution of domesticates: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Very nice study on molecular footprints of #domestication, corroborating earlier work of our group @cbl_bcn. Particularly pleased to see how @Thomas_ORourke's work on convergence on specific glutamate receptors receives strong support bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

No study exists in a vacuum, and for my part, in the context of our new @ScienceAdvances paper ⬇️, there are lots of people to thank. [Thread]
Maybe the most important outcome of working on a complex paper across labs is the strengthening of friendship. Thanks @gtesta72! In addition to my own students, I was lucky to work with great students in Milan @MatteoZanella88 @polvere7 @SebastianoTrat and others not on Twitter
Thanks to Adam Wilkins, Richard Wrangham and @TecumsehFitch for putting forward the neural-crest based account of #Domestication, which gave us a concrete hypothesis to test, and to @bharedogguy, for his work and his support of our group's projects
