Genetics of colouration in birds.

Seminars in cell & developmental biology - 1 Jan 2000

Roulin Alexandre, Ducrest Anne-Lyse

Abstract excerpt

Establishing the links between phenotype and genotype is of great importance for resolving key questions about the evolution, maintenance and adaptive function of phenotypic variation. Bird colouration is one of the most studied systems to investigate the role of natural and sexual selection in the evolution of phenotypic diversity. Given the recent advances in molecular tools that allow discovering genetic...
