The Function of Melanin-Based Colour Polymorphism in Cattle, Sheep and Goats.

Pigment cell & melanoma research - 1 May 2025

K M Venkatesh, Roulin Alexandre

Abstract excerpt

Natural selection has rarely promoted the evolution of colour polymorphism in wild mammals. However, it is more common in domestic mammals due to artificial selection. For this reason, domestication could provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying the evolution of colour diversity. This raises the question of whether the associations between coat colour and other phenotypes in domestic animals are...
