Industrial melanism in the peppered moth is not associated with genetic variation in canonical melanisation gene candidates.

PloS one - 28 May 2010

van't Hof Arjen E, Saccheri Ilik J

Abstract excerpt

Industrial melanism in the peppered moth (Biston betularia) is an iconic case study of ecological genetics but the molecular identity of the gene determining the difference between the typical and melanic (carbonaria) morphs is entirely unknown. We applied the candidate gene approach to look for associations between genetic polymorphisms within sixteen a priori melanisation gene candidates and the carbonaria...
