We also observe a progressive decoupling of trait correlations with increasing time since domestication. Overall, results point to general evolutionary rules shaping crop phenotypic spaces. This study was designed as a low-cost, low-carbon comparative approach.

We find convergence across species. Most species show a reduction of multivariate phenotypic space under domestication. We introduce a multivariate phenotypic divergence index (mPDI) to quantify and rank divergence between wild and domestic forms.

We quantified 11–57 traits across 13 plant species (wild and domesticated forms), including both shared and species-specific traits. Near-infrared (NIR) spectral signatures allow us to control for sampling effects across species.

New paper out in New Phytologist: we use plant domestication as a replicated natural experiment to study how divergent selection shapes multivariate phenotypic evolution across species. 👤 First author: Arthur Wojcik et al. Phenotype-only framework (no genomic data)

Creasey, Petrov & Tauber analyze the evolution of 11 core clock proteins across 65 Drosophila species, finding that the circadian clock network does not impose strong constraints on the evolution of its components.
