Natural selection along an environmental gradient: a classic cline in mouse pigmentation.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jul 2008

Mullen Lynne M, Hoekstra Hopi E

Abstract excerpt

We revisited a classic study of morphological variation in the oldfield mouse (Peromyscus polionotus) to estimate the strength of selection acting on pigmentation patterns and to identify the underlying genes. We measured 215 specimens collected by Francis Sumner in the 1920s from eight populations across a 155-km, environmentally variable transect from the white sands of Florida's Gulf coast to the dark, loamy...
