Abstract excerpt

The evolution of behavior relies on changes at the level of the genome; yet the ability to attribute a behavioral change to a specific, naturally occurring genetic change is rare in vertebrates. In the white-throated sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis), a chromosomal polymorphism (ZAL2/2(m)) is known to segregate with a behavioral phenotype. Individuals with the ZAL2(m) haplotype engage in more territorial...
