• Adaptive introgression in animals: examples and comparison to new mutation and standing variation as sources of adaptive variation (2013, positive): “Darwin (1868) concluded that domestic chickens were descended from red junglefowl (Gallus gallus), and molecular studies have supported his view.”
• Adaptation to an extraordinary environment by evolution of phenotypic plasticity and genetic assimilation (2009, background): “Darwin (1859, 1868) and early naturalists including Lamarck, as well as animal and plant breeders and biometricians, were aware that both hereditary and environmental factors influence individual development, and that phenotypic plasticity often is adaptive (Provine, 1971).”
• The effects of captivity on the morphology of captive, domesticated and feral mammals (2005, neutral): “This subject has been a topic of interest since the mid-19th century (Darwin, 1868), and evidence is gathering to suggest that characteristics that are considered to be markers of domestication, such as floppy ears and shortened tails, can arise relatively quickly by selecting for behavioural…”
• Patterns and processes in crop domestication: an historical review and quantitative analysis of 203 global food crops. (2012, positive): “In recent years, scientists have used molecular techniques to test and apply theories of crop origins put forward 150 yr ago by Darwin (1868) and De Candolle (1884) (Doebley et al., 1995; Gepts, 2004; Zohary, 2004; Fuller, 2007; Gregory, 2009; Brown, 2010).”
• Genetic adaptation to captivity in species conservation programs (2008, background): “Darwin (1868) pointed out that natural selection for tameness and other adaptations to the captive environment were inevitable, especially in the context of domestication.”
• Heterosis decreasing in hybrids: yield test inbreds. (2009, background): “Inbred yield testing will better select for stress tolerance because inbreds are more susceptible to stress than their hybrids (Darwin, 1868, 1875; Troyer, 1993, 2006; Duvick, 1999, 2005).”
• The origin of the domestic pig: independent domestication and subsequent introgression. (2000, neutral): “Our results agree with Darwin’s view (Darwin 1868) that there is a consid- 1998).”
• Aspects of unconscious selection and the evolution of domesticated plants (2004, neutral): “(Darwin, 1868 ).”
