Genetic basis of a color pattern polymorphism in the Coqui Frog Eleutherodactylus coqui.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

O'Neill Eric M, Beard Karen H

Abstract excerpt

Many species of frog exhibit striking color and pattern polymorphisms, but the genetic bases of these traits are not known for most species. The coqui frog, Eleutherodactylus coqui, a species endemic to the island of Puerto Rico, exhibits a wide variety of color and pattern polymorphisms including 4 discrete stripe patterns on its dorsal surface and an unstriped morph. We conducted breeding experiments to...
