Abstract excerpt
The underlying drivers of variation in the colouration (colour and pattern) of animals can be genetic, non-genetic, or more likely, a combination of both. Understanding the role of heritable genetic elements, as well as non-genetic factors such as age, habitat or temperature, in shaping colouration can provide insight into the evolution and function of these traits, as well as the speed of response to changing...
