Color Polymorphism is a Driver of Diversification in the Lizard Family Lacertidae.

Systematic biology - 16 Dec 2021

Brock Kinsey M, McTavish Emily Jane, Edwards Danielle L

Abstract excerpt

Color polymorphism-two or more heritable color phenotypes maintained within a single breeding population-is an extreme type of intraspecific diversity widespread across the tree of life. Color polymorphism is hypothesized to be an engine for speciation, where morph loss or divergence between distinct color morphs within a species results in the rapid evolution of new lineages, and thus, color polymorphic lineages...
