Widespread Variation in EDNRB2 Is Associated With Diverse Melanin Loss Phenotypes Across Avian Species.

Molecular biology and evolution - 29 Oct 2025

Maclary Emily T, Shapiro Michael D

Abstract excerpt

Plumage pigmentation plays critical roles in survival and reproductive success in birds, from providing camouflage and thermoregulation to mediating elaborate mating displays. The genetic and developmental origins of diverse plumage pigmentation patterns remain incompletely understood, in part, due to limited intraspecific variation and high levels of genetic divergence between distantly related species. Domestic...
