Large spatial scale of the phenotype-environment color matching in two cryptic species of african desert jerboas (dipodidae: jaculus).

Abstract excerpt

We tested the camouflage hypothesis, or the linkage between animal (Saharan rodent) and habitat coloration, on the largest geographical scale yet conducted. We aimed to determine whether phenotypic variation is explained by micro-habitat variation and/or genetic polymorphism to determine 1) the strength of linkage between fur color and local substrate color, and 2) the divergence in fur coloration between two...
