Open AccessThe mitoepigenome responds to stress, suggesting novel mito-nuclear interactions in vertebrates
The mitochondria are central in the cellular response to changing environmental conditions resulting from disease states, environmental exposures or normal physiological processes. Although the influences of e...

Open AccessDomestication effects on social information transfer in chickens
Red junglefowl (RJF), ancestor of all domesticated chickens, is a highly social, omnivorous bird species, presumably with a capacity for social information sharing. During domestication, birds have been select...

Open AccessPractical application of a Bayesian network approach to poultry epigenetics and stress
Relationships among genetic or epigenetic features can be explored by learning probabilistic networks and unravelling the dependencies among a set of given genetic/epigenetic features. Bayesian networks (BNs) ...

Open AccessBreed group differences in the unsolvable problem task: herding dogs prefer their owner, while solitary hunting dogs seek stranger proximity
The communicating skills of dogs are well documented and especially their contact-seeking behaviours towards humans. The aim of this study was to use the unsolvable problem paradigm to investigate differences ...

Open AccessLong-term stress in dogs is related to the human–dog relationship and personality traits
Previously, we found that dogs belonging to the herding breed group, selected for human cooperation, synchronise their long-term stress levels with their owners. The aim of the current study was to investigate...

The methylation landscape and its role in domestication and gene regulation in the chicken
Domestication is one of the strongest examples of artificial selection and has produced some of the most extreme within-species phenotypic variation known. In the case of the chicken, it has been hypothesized ...

Gene expression across mammalian organ development
The evolution of gene expression in mammalian organ development remains largely uncharacterized. Here we report the transcriptomes of seven organs (cerebrum, cerebellum, heart, kidney, liver, ovary and testis)...

Open AccessLong-term stress levels are synchronized in dogs and their owners
This study reveals, for the first time, an interspecific synchronization in long-term stress levels. Previously, acute stress, has been shown to be highly contagious both among humans and between individuals o...

Open AccessEffects of commercial hatchery processing on short- and long-term stress responses in laying hens
In commercial egg production, chicks are exposed to a potentially stressful procedure during their first day of life. Here, we investigated how this procedure affects the chickens in a short- as well as long-t...

Changes in pituitary gene expression may underlie multiple domesticated traits in chickens
Domesticated animals share a unique set of morphological and behavioral traits, jointly referred to as the domesticated phenotype. Striking similarities amongst a range of unrelated domesticated species sugges...

Open AccessThe relationship between learning speed and personality is age- and task-dependent in red junglefowl
Cognition is fundamental to animals’ lives and an important source of phenotypic variation. Nevertheless, research on individual variation in animal cognition is still limited. Further, although individual cog...

Open AccessEpigenetics and early domestication: differences in hypothalamic DNA methylation between red junglefowl divergently selected for high or low fear of humans
Domestication of animals leads to large phenotypic alterations within a short evolutionary time-period. Such alterations are caused by genomic variations, yet the prevalence of modified traits is higher than e...

Open AccessGenetical genomics of growth in a chicken model
The genetics underlying body mass and growth are key to understanding a wide range of topics in biology, both evolutionary and developmental. Body mass and growth traits are affected by many genetic variants o...

Open AccessBrain size is reduced by selection for tameness in Red Junglefowl– correlated effects in vital organs
During domestication animals have undergone changes in size of brain and other vital organs. We hypothesize that this could be a correlated effect to increased tameness. Red Junglefowl (ancestors of domestic c...

Asking Questions in Supervision
A central element in supervision is asking the supervisee questions. Questions can be asked both by the supervisor and the other participants in the group. Questions used to be considered a tool to collect rel...

Open AccessDomestication and ontogeny effects on the stress response in young chickens (Gallus gallus)
Domestication is thought to increase stress tolerance. The connection between stressor exposure, glucocorticoids and behavioural responses has been studied in adults, where domestication effects are evident. E...
