  • Domestication Syndrome” in Mammals: a Unified Explanation Based on Neural Crest Cell Behavior and Genetics
    HIGHLIGHTED ARTICLE PERSPECTIVES The “Domestication Syndrome” in Mammals: A Unified Explanation Based on Neural Crest Cell Behavior and Genetics Adam S. Wilkins,*,†,1 Richard W. Wrangham,*,‡ and W. Tecumseh Fitch§ *Stellenbosch Institute of Advanced Study, Stellenbosch 7600, South Africa, †Institute of Theoretical Biology, Humboldt University zu Berlin, Berlin 10115, Germany, ‡Department of Human Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, and §Department of Cognitive Biology, University of Vienna, A-1090 Vienna, Austria ABSTRACT Charles Darwin, while trying to devise a general theory of heredity from the observations of animal and plant breeders, discovered that domesticated mammals possess a distinctive and unusual suite of heritable traits not seen in their wild progenitors. Some of these traits also appear in domesticated birds and fish. The origin of Darwin’s “domestication syndrome” has remained a conundrum for more than 140 years. Most explanations focus on particular traits, while neglecting others, or on the possible selective factors involved in domestication rather than the underlying developmental and genetic causes of these traits. Here, we propose that the domestication syndrome results predominantly from mild neural crest cell deficits during embryonic development. Most of the modified traits, both morphological and physiological, can be readily explained as direct consequences of such deficiencies, while other traits are explicable as indirect consequences. We first show how the hypothesis can account for the multiple, apparently unrelated traits of the syndrome and then explore its genetic dimensions and predictions, reviewing the available genetic evidence. The article concludes with a brief discussion of some genetic and developmental questions raised by the idea, along with specific predictions and experimental tests.

  • Annual Listing of Obligated Projects
    NEW YORK METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL ANNUAL LISTING OF OBLIGATED PROJECTS for Federal Fiscal Year 2007 April 29, 2008 Introduction Each and every day, the New York metropolitan region’s transportation system is called upon to efficiently and reliably deliver people and goods to countless destinations within the region and beyond. This vast network of rails, roads, bridges, waterways and trails makes it possible for workers to get to jobs, students and teachers to educational institutions, visitors to attractions and for goods and services to reach consumers. The New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC) – a regional council of governments which is the Metropolitan Planning Organization for New York City, Long Island and the Lower Hudson Valley – is the organization responsible under Federal law for undertaking regional transportation planning activities for the New York metropolitan region that lead ultimately to transportation improvement projects. Maintaining and improving the transportation system will require a great deal of investment; more than $568.0 billion (year of expenditure dollars) of needs as identified in NYMTC’s current 2005-2030 Regional Transportation Plan. The challenge will be to find sufficient financial resources to achieve this objective. How Are Projects Planned and Funded? The transportation legislation which authorizes spending nationally for transportation improvements requires metropolitan regions to follow a comprehensive planning process in order to obtain Federal funding for transportation improvements. The foundation of this process is a long-range Regional Transportation Plan which defines the region’s long-term needs and conceptual solutions. Through more detailed study, various specific transportation improvements are then defined using the Plan as a framework.
