Melanism in peromyscus is caused by independent mutations in agouti.

PloS one - 30 Jul 2009

Kingsley Evan P, Manceau Marie, Wiley Christopher D, Hoekstra Hopi E

Abstract excerpt

Identifying the molecular basis of phenotypes that have evolved independently can provide insight into the ways genetic and developmental constraints influence the maintenance of phenotypic diversity. Melanic (darkly pigmented) phenotypes in mammals provide a potent system in which to study the g...
