Perspective: Evolution of flower color in the desert annual Linanthus parryae: Wright revisited.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jul 2001

Schemske D W, Bierzychudek P

Abstract excerpt

Linanthus parryae, a diminutive desert annual with white or blue flowers, has been the focus of a long-standing debate among evolutionary biologists. At issue is whether the flower color polymorphism in this species is the product of random genetic drift, as Sewall Wright argued, or of natural selection, as proposed by Carl Epling and his colleagues. Our long-term studies of three polymorphic populations in the...
