Dynamics of colour polymorphism in a changing environment: fire melanism and then what?

Oecologia - 1 Jan 2008

Karlsson Magnus, Caesar Sofia, Ahnesjö Jonas, Forsman Anders

Abstract excerpt

Studies of whether disturbance events are associated with the changing genetic compositions of natural populations may provide insights into the importance of local selection events in maintaining diversity, and might inform plans for the conservation and protection of that diversity. We examined the dynamics of a colour pattern polymorphism in a natural population of pygmy grasshoppers Tetrix subulata...
