Evolutionary biology: patchy food may maintain a foraging polymorphism.

Current biology : CB - 11 Nov 2008

Kiontke Karin

Abstract excerpt

Two naturally-occurring alleles in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans that differ by a single amino acid and cause striking differences in foraging behavior are probably maintained by selection in patchy environments.
