Shell color polymorphism in marine gastropods [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2023 Marine gastropods are characterized by an incredible variation in shell color. In this review, we aim to introduce researchers to previous studies of shell color polymorphism in this group of animals, trying to provide an overview of the topic and ...

Color polymorphism in organic crystals. [PDF]
Commun Chem, 2020 AbstractColor polymorphism is an interesting property of chemical systems which present crystal polymorphs of different colors. It is a rare phenomenon, with only a few examples reported in the literature hitherto. Nevertheless, systems exhibiting color polymorphism have many potential applications in different domains, such as pigment, sensor, and ...

Color Polymorphism is a Driver of Diversification in the Lizard Family Lacertidae. [PDF]
Syst Biol, 2021 ABSTRACT Color polymorphism – two or more heritable color phenotypes maintained within a single breeding population – is an extreme type of intra-specific diversity widespread across the tree of life but rarely studied in a comparative framework.

Sympatric ecological divergence associated with a color polymorphism. [PDF]
BMC Biol, 2015 Color polymorphisms are a conspicuous feature of many species and a way to address broad ecological and evolutionary questions. Three potential major evolutionary fates of color polymorphisms are conceivable over time: maintenance, loss, or speciation.

Reproductive trade-offs maintain bract color polymorphism in Scarlet Indian paintbrush (Castilleja coccinea). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Populations of scarlet Indian paintbrush (Castilleja coccinea) in the Midwestern United States exhibit a bract color polymorphism, with each population having predominantly yellow or scarlet bracts.

Predation and the maintenance of color polymorphism in a habitat specialist squamate. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Multiple studies have addressed the mechanisms maintaining polymorphism within a population. However, several examples exist where species inhabiting diverse habitats exhibit local population-specific polymorphism.

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2022 Anurans vary in body coloration and frequently exhibit color polymorphism, with selection by predation pressure favoring more cryptic animals. Spatial differentiation may also favor color polymorphism in some species, since cryptic morphotypes can use ...

Flower color polymorphism of a wild Iris on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2023 Background Flower color plays a crucial role in attracting pollinators and facilitating environmental adaptation. Investigating the causes of flower color polymorphism and understanding their potential effects on both ecology and genetics can enhance our

Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Nedyopus patrioticus: New Insights into the Color Polymorphism of Millipedes [PDF]
Current Issues in Molecular BiologyThere has been debate about whether individuals with different color phenotypes should have different taxonomic status. In order to determine whether the different color phenotypes of Nedyopus patrioticus require separate taxonomic status or are simply ...
