Feralization: Confronting the Complexity of Domestication and Evolution

Feral populations, those which successfully persist outside of cultivation or husbandry, provide unique opportunities to study the genomic impacts of domestication and local adaptation. We argue that by leveraging genomic resources designed for domestic counterparts, powerful phylogenetic and population genomic data collection and analyses can be designed to disentangle complex demographic processes.

Studying the genomic impacts of domestication and local adaptation through feral populations, and leveraging genomic resources for powerful data collection and analysis, can help unravel complex demographic processes.
