Convergence in pigmentation at multiple levels: mutations, genes and function.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 27 Aug 2010

Abstract excerpt

Convergence--the independent evolution of the same trait by two or more taxa--has long been of interest to evolutionary biologists, but only recently has the molecular basis of phenotypic convergence been identified. Here, we highlight studies of rapid evolution of cryptic coloration in vertebrat...
