Garlic cress (Peltaria alliacea) is like a more refined version of its sister species Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata). It is also reliably perennial and -which is rare for Brassicacea plant - spreads through rhizomes. I think it's a winner. Surprisingly, you almost can't find it on the market. And the few that sell it basically sell the same clone - so it won't set seed. After some years of working on this I finally did it and now have plants that set seed. Very happy about this! #PeltariaAlliacea #Seed #Domestication #PlantExplorer #Perennials #Edimentals

#domestication

"In the alpine grasslands of eastern Africa, Ethiopian wolves and gelada monkeys are giving peace a chance. The geladas – a type of baboon – tolerate wolves wandering right through the middle of their herds, while the wolves ignore potential meals of baby geladas in favour of rodents, which they can catch more easily when the monkeys are present.

(. . .)

Even though the wolves occasionally prey on young sheep and goats, which are as big as young geladas, they do not normally attack the monkeys – and the geladas seem to know that, because they do not run away from the wolves."

#Dog #domestication happened many times, but most didn’t pan out
#Dogs that share our homes today are descendants of a single group of #wolves that lived in #Siberia about 23,000 years ago. But for thousands of years after that, line between #wolf and dog wasn’t clear-cut. Study shows long after dogs had spread into Eurasia and Americas, people living in what is now Alaska still spent time with—and fed bizarre mix of dogs, wolves, dog-wolf hybrids, and even some coyotes.

Human/canid relations in subarctic #Alaska, going back to the end of the #Pleistocene. Paper on the antiquity of this bond and the multiple ways it manifested in interior Alaska, a region key to understanding the peopling of the Americas and early northern lifeways.

'...Results show that in contrast to canids recovered in non-anthropic contexts, canids recovered in association with human occupations are markedly diverse. They include multiple species and intraspecific lineages, morphological variation, and diets ranging from terrestrial to marine. This variation is expressed along both geographic and temporal gradients, starting in the terminal Pleistocene with canids showing high marine dietary estimates. This paper provides evidence of the multiple ecological relationships between canids and people in the north—from predation, probable commensalism, and taming, to domestication—and of their early onset.'

#AncientDNA brings to life history of the iconic #aurochs, whose tale is intertwined with climate change and human culture

EurekAlert!Ancient DNA brings to life history of the iconic aurochs, whose tale is intertwined with climate change and human cultureGeneticists from Trinity College Dublin, together with an international team of researchers, have deciphered the prehistory of aurochs – the animals that were the focus of some of the most iconic early human art – by analysing 38 genomes harvested from bones dating across 50 millennia and stretching from Siberia to Britain.  The aurochs roamed in Europe, Asia and Africa for hundreds of thousands of years. Adorned as paintings on many a cave wall, their domestication to create cattle gave us a harnessed source of muscle, meat and milk. Such was the influence of this domestication that today their descendants make up a third of the world’s mammalian biomass.
