A model of ecological and evolutionary consequences of color polymorphism.

Ecology - 1 Jan 2008

Forsman Anders, Ahnesjö Jonas, Caesar Sofia, Karlsson Magnus

Abstract excerpt

We summarize direct and indirect effects on fitness components of animal color pattern and present a synthesis of theories concerning the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of chromatic multiple niche polymorphisms. Previous endeavors have aimed primarily at identifying conditions that promote the evolution and maintenance of polymorphisms. We consider in a conceptual model also the reciprocal influence of...
