Morphological Trait Evolution

Morphological Trait Evolution is a theoretical construct in domestication genetics that describes the progressive genetic and phenotypic changes in physical characteristics of organisms resulting from selective pressures during domestication, distinguishing it from neutral or environmental-driven morphological variation by its association with human-mediated selection.
