Parasite intensity and fur coloration in reindeer calves - contrasting artificial and natural selection.

The Journal of animal ecology - 1 May 2009

Rødven Rolf, Männikkö Inkeri, Ims Rolf A, Yoccoz Nigel G, Folstad Ivar

Abstract excerpt

1. In reindeer, the variation in fur coloration is higher in semi-domesticated than in wild populations. This difference might result from impacts of natural enemies acting on conspicuously coloured individuals with higher intensity in natural than semi-domesticated populations. 2. While predator...
