Spatial structure of shell polychromatism in populations of Cepaea nemoralis: new techniques for an old debate.

Heredity - 1 Jan 2002

Bellido A, Madec L, Arnaud J-F, Guiller A

Abstract excerpt

A conspicuous shell polychromatism is observed in colonies of Cepaea nemoralis from western France (Brittany). The present study is intended to search for a spatial structure of shell features at this scale and to infer evolutionary processes from the observed patterns. We used a database of morph frequencies (six composite phenotypes were retained) measured on 213 samples regularly distributed on the whole...
