Quantitative genetics of pigmentation development in 2 populations of the common garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Westphal Michael F, Morgan Theodore J

Abstract excerpt

The evolutionary importance of ontogenetic change has been noted since Darwin. However, most analyses of phenotypic evolution focus on single landmark ages. Here, we present an inheritance study that quantifies genetic variation in pigmentation across early-age (i.e., birth to 180 days) development in 2 populations of the common garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis. The populations are phenotypically distinct and...
