Genetic mapping of the female mimic morph locus in the ruff.

BMC genetics - 20 Nov 2013

Farrell Lindsay L, Burke Terry, Slate Jon, McRae Susan B, Lank David B

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Ruffs (Aves: Philomachus pugnax) possess a genetic polymorphism for male mating behaviour resulting in three permanent alternative male reproductive morphs: (i) territorial 'Independents', (ii) non-territorial 'Satellites', and (iii) female-mimicking 'Faeders'. Development into independent or satellite morphs has previously been shown to be due to a single-locus, two-allele autosomal Mendelian mode of...
