Variation in Genetic Mechanisms for Plumage Polymorphism in Skuas (Stercorarius).

The Journal of heredity - 25 Aug 2021

Janssen Kirstin, Bustnes Jan Ove, Mundy Nicholas I

Abstract excerpt

Coloration is evolutionarily labile and so provides an excellent trait for examining the repeatability of evolution. Here, we investigate the repeatability of the evolution of polymorphic variation in ventral plumage coloration in skuas (Stercorarius: Stercorariidae). In 2 species, arctic (S. parasiticus) and pomarine skuas (S. pomarinus), plumage polymorphism was previously shown to be associated with coding...
