Genetic time‐series data from historical samples greatly facilitate inference of past
population dynamics and species evolution. Yet, although climate and landscape change …

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 …

The horse was domesticated only 5.5 KYA, thousands of years after dogs, cattle, pigs,
sheep, and goats. The horse nonetheless represents the domestic animal that most …

The geographic and temporal origins of dogs remain controversial. We generated genetic
sequences from 59 ancient dogs and a complete (28x) genome of a late Neolithic dog …

This paper aims to identify a series of conceptual, strategic and technological challenges
facing archaeozoology (and archaeobotany) in order to better understand when, where, how …

Animal domestication is considered a complex and multistage process that altered
behaviorally, morphologically, and physiologically the domesticates relative to their wild …

Although both wolves and dogs have been the subjects of numerous studies in many
disciplines, the complex relationships between them have not yet been synthesized within a …

Our understanding of canine coat colour genetics and the associated health implications is
developing rapidly. To date, there are 15 genes with known roles in canine coat colour …

Hybridization and introgression can impact the evolution of natural populations. Several wild
canid species hybridize in nature, sometimes originating new taxa. However, hybridization …

In 2020, it will have been twenty-five years since one of the greatest wildlife conservation
and restoration achievements of the twentieth century took place: the reintroduction of …
