PMEL p.Leu18del dilutes coat color of Kumamoto sub-breed of Japanese Brown cattle
BMC Genomics, 2022 Background Coat color is important for registration and maintenance of livestock. Standard coat color of Kumamoto sub-breed of Japanese Brown cattle is solid brown, but individuals with diluted coat color have been observed recently.

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Non‐sex‐linked color polymorphism is common in animals and can be maintained in populations via balancing selection or, when under diversifying selection, can promote divergence.

Color polymorphism is a driver of diversification
, 2021 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.

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The presence of shell bands is common in gastropods. Both the marine snails Littorina fabalis and Lttorina saxatilis are polymorphic for this trait. Such polymorphism would be expected to be lost by the action of genetic drift or directional selection ...

Enclosure Background Preferences Differ between Sexes and Color Morphs in the Gouldian Finch
Animals, 2023 Most wild animals camouflage well into their environment, providing protection from predators, whereas captive animals often contrast with their background. This can cause stress for the animal, which may perceive it as being exposed.

Causes and Consequences of Color Polymorphism [PDF]
, 2021 One hundred and fifty years after Darwin and “On the Origin of Species,” understanding how phenotypic variation is generated, maintained, and lost remains a central goal in evolutionary biology.

Evolutionary history and diversity in the ball roller beetle Canthon cyanellus
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 To understand the evolutionary history of species, it is necessary to know the mechanisms for reproductive isolation, divergence-time between populations, and the relative action of the evolutionary forces (e.g., mutation, genetic drift, gene flow ...

Maintenance of polymorphism in the orb weaving spider species Agalenatea redii (Araneae, Araneidae) [PDF]
, 2012 The maintenance of polymorphism within populations may be the consequence of several elements of species life history such as use of space, activity rhythms, predation, parasitism and reproduction.
