A Biohybrid Superorganism - Investigating honeybees' collective behaviors via interactive robotics
Social insects, such as ants, termites, and honeybees, have evolved sophisticated societies where the collaborative efforts of "simple" individuals can lead to the emergence of complex dynamics. The reliance of each organism on the collective is so great t ...
EPFL2024The Domestic Turn: Politics of Education from New College to The Palazzo Della Sapienza
Student accommodation became a problem only a century after the foundation of the first universities in Europe in the 12th century. At the very beginning students had to provide their own lodgings autonomously. In many university cities the situation prove ...
2023The Quest for Genes Involved in Adaptation to Climate Change in Ruminant Livestock
Simple Summary:& nbsp;After domestication in specific regions, livestock followed human migrations and colonized the whole world. During this population expansion, human and natural selection, together with demographic events, molded the livestock genome l ...
2021Convergent genomic signatures of domestication in sheep and goats
Stéphane Joost, Pierre Taberlet
The evolutionary basis of domestication has been a longstanding question and its genetic architecture is becoming more tractable as more domestic species become genome-enabled. Before becoming established worldwide, sheep and goats were domesticated in the ...
Nature Publishing Group2018Genome-wide SNP profiling of worldwide goat populations reveals strong partitioning of diversity and highlights post-domestication migration routes
Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Elia Vajana
Background: Goat populations that are characterized within the AdaptMap project cover a large part of the worldwide distribution of this species and provide the opportunity to assess their diversity at a global scale. We analysed genome-wide 50K single nuc ...
BMC2018Multi locus genotypic data reveal high genetic diversity and low genetic structure of Iranian sheep
Iranian livestock diversity is still largely unexplored, in spite of the interest in the populations historically reared in this country located near the Fertile Crescent, a major livestock domestication centre. In this investigation, the genetic diversity ...
Wiley-Blackwell2016Prospects and Challenges for the Conservation of Farm Animal Genomic Resources, 2015-2025
Livestock conservation practice is changing rapidly in light of policy, climate change and market demands. The last decade saw a step change in technological and analytical approaches to define, manage and conserve Farm Animal Genomic Resources (FAnGR). Th ...
