QTL and quantitative genetic analysis of beak morphology reveals patterns of standing genetic variation in an Estrildid finch.

Molecular ecology - 1 Aug 2012

Abstract excerpt

The intra- and interspecific diversity of avian beak morphologies is one of the most compelling examples for the power of natural selection acting on a morphological trait. The development and diversification of the beak have also become a textbook example for evolutionary developmental biology, and variation in expression levels of several genes is known to causally affect beak shape. However, until now, no...
