Discrete or indiscrete? Redefining the colour polymorphism of the land snail <i>Cepaea nemoralis</i>

2018-08-07

Abstract excerpt

Biologists have long tried to describe and name the different phenotypes that make up the exuberant colour polymorphism of the land snail Cepaea nemoralis . Traditionally, the view is that the ground colour is one of a few major colour classes, either yellow, pink or brown, but in practise it is frequently difficult to distinguish the colours, and consistently define different shades of the same colour. To unders...
