Aphid male wing polymorphisms are transient and have evolved repeatedly.

Abstract excerpt

Polymorphic phenotypes have long been used to examine the maintenance of genetic variation within and between species. Most studies have focused on persistent polymorphisms, which are retained across species boundaries, and their positive effects on speciation rates. Far less is known about the macroevolutionary impacts of more transient polymorphisms, which are also common. Here we investigated male wing...
