Nonautosomal genetic variation in carotenoid coloration.

The American naturalist - 1 Sept 2014

Evans Simon R, Schielzeth Holger, Forstmeier Wolfgang, Sheldon Ben C, Husby Arild

Abstract excerpt

Carotenoid-based coloration plays an important role in signaling, is often sexually dimorphic, and is potentially subject to directional and/or sex-specific selection. To understand the evolutionary dynamics of such color traits, it is essential to quantify patterns of inheritance, yet nonautosomal sources of genetic variation are easily overlooked by classical heritability analyses. Carotenoid metabolism has...
