Solved: the genetics of colour polymorphism in wall lizards
by ullergroup | Mar 1, 2019 | Posts
A new paper in PNAS reveals that the orange and yellow ventral colour morphs in wall lizards is caused by regulatory changes in pterin and carotenoid genes. Interestingly, it seems like the alleles are old and occasionally shared between species. Miguel Carneiro and...Recent Posts
