The genetic basis of a rare flower color polymorphism in Mimulus lewisii provides insight into the repeatability of evolution.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2013

Abstract excerpt

A long-standing question in evolutionary biology asks whether the genetic changes contributing to phenotypic evolution are predictable. Here, we identify a genetic change associated with segregating variation in flower color within a population of Mimulus lewisii. To determine whether these types of changes are predictable, we combined this information with data from other species to investigate whether the...
