Sympatric ecological divergence associated with a color polymorphism. [PDF]
BMC Biol, 2015 Background: 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 ...

Green‐brown polymorphism in alpine grasshoppers affects body temperature
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Ectothermic animals depend on external heat sources for pursuing their daily activities. However, reaching sufficiently high temperature can be limiting at high altitudes, where nights are cold and seasons short.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Human activities are increasingly confronting animals with unfamiliar environmental conditions. For example, habitat change and loss often lead to habitat fragmentation, which can create barriers of unsuitable and unfamiliar habitat affecting animal ...

Ecosphere, 2018 Color polymorphisms offer unique opportunities for testing the role of ecological adaptation and natural selection in the origin of species. However, the ecological conditions that facilitate the coexistence and speciation of color morphs in nature ...

On Venezuelan pholcid spiders (Araneae, Pholcidae)
European Journal of Taxonomy, 2020 We present a comprehensive revision of the pholcid spider collection of M.A. González-Sponga, who between 1998 and 2011 described 22 new genera and 51 new species of Pholcidae from Venezuela.

Effects of Color Polymorphism and Lighting Environments on Male Bluefin Killifish Behavior [PDF]
, 2021 Polymorphism occurs when multiple, discrete phenotypes exist for a trait within the same species. Polyphenism, a form of phenotypic plasticity, occurs when the environment in which animals develop determines which discrete, morph is expressed.

Selection's Role in Maintaining a Color Polymorphism in the Sulawesi Fish Telmatherina antoniae
, 2023 Explaining the extraordinary genetic variation present in natural populations is a central and longstanding problem of evolutionary biology. Color polymorphisms have proven to be powerful models for studying how genetic variation, associated with ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Photodamage of symbiotic algae exposed to thermal stress is involved in mass coral bleaching, a major cause of reef decline. Photoprotection is therefore a vital part of coral stress physiology. Corals produce a variety of green fluorescent protein (GFP)-
