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 ...

Rainbow Coloring Hardness via Low Sensitivity Polymorphisms [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 2019 A k-uniform hypergraph is said to be r-rainbow colorable if there is an r-coloring of its vertices such that every hyperedge intersects all r color classes.

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 ...

Aposematic color polymorphism is a poor indicator of species boundaries in North American Paranthrene (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae) as evidenced by a multi-gene phylogeny. [PDF]
PLoS ONEColor polymorphism among animal species can influence speciation. Factors such as natural and sexual selection, genetic drift and gene flow contribute to the maintenance of color polymorphism within the species or spur speciation.

Color polymorphic carnivores have faster speciation rates [PDF]
Scientific ReportsVariation in coat color is a prominent feature in carnivores, thought to be shaped by environmental factors. As new traits could allow populations to occupy novel niches and habitats, color polymorphism may be maintained by balancing selection ...

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.

Structural background of intraspecific color polymorphism and the driver of geographic patterns in a shining leaf chafer [PDF]
Frontiers in ZoologyBackground The phenomenon of color polymorphism has been extensively documented in a range of animal species. A series of hypotheses have been proposed to explain potential functions of color variations in diverse habitats.
