Ecological genetics of adaptive color polymorphism in pocket mice: geographic variation in selected and neutral genes.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jun 2004

Hoekstra Hopi E, Drumm Kristen E, Nachman Michael W

Abstract excerpt

Patterns of geographic variation in phenotype or genotype may provide evidence for natural selection. Here, we compare phenotypic variation in color, allele frequencies of a pigmentation gene (the melanocortin-1 receptor, Mc1r), and patterns of neutral mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation in rock pocket mice (Chaetodipus intermedius) across a habitat gradient in southern Arizona. Pocket mice inhabiting volcanic...
