@KatBoniface @WildPasts_ @RWUHistory Breeding semi-feral animals was a major colonizing activity, but how to connect the dots between these mobile populations over generations leaves a lot of room for more finds!

[Kathryn Renton @kattalk]

@KatBoniface @WildPasts_ @RWUHistory Yes, this is interesting to confirm from a zooarch perspective in the North American borderlands. Historical records from Latin American cases (Mexico & Chile esp.) show horses being used outside of Spanish control before the 1600s, but not the full extent/nature of that use.

Why do birds have different eye colors? The short answer is we don't know. The long answer is in our new review article, up now as a preprint! We look at the pigments, genes, and evolutionary forces that give birds eyes their colors. https://t.co/XrvuUl3lll
