Data from: Color polymorphism influences species' range and extinction risk

, 2019
Polymorphisms in a population are expected to increase growth rate and stability of the population, leading to the expansion of geographic distribution and mitigation of extinction risk of a species.

Color polymorphic carnivores have faster speciation rates

Scientific Reports
Variation 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 ...

Maintenance of flower color dimorphism in Ophiorrhiza japonica (Rubiaceae): responses to fluctuating temperatures in a dolomite Karst region

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionFlower color polymorphism is often attributed to selection pressures from Q9 pollinators or other non-pollinator stress factors. Generally, flower color polymorphism demonstrates effective acclimatization linked to either pollinator-mediated ...

Goat agouti gene polymorphism and its association with coat color in indigenous turkish goat breeds

, 2012
Agouti gene has an important effect on pigment synthesis in mammals. It encodes Agouti signaling protein, which stimulates the phaeomelanin synthesis resulting red, yellow coat color.

Data from: Inaccurate color discrimination by pollinators promotes evolution of discrete color polymorphism in food-deceptive flowers

, 2015
Many plant species employing food-deceptive pollination strategy show discrete or continuous floral polymorphism within their populations. Previous studies have suggested that negative frequency-dependent selection (NFDS) caused by learning behavior of ...

Can sexual selection and disassortative mating contribute to the maintenance of a shell color polymorphism in an intertidal marine snail?

Current Zoology, 2012
Littorina fabalis is an intertidal snail commonly living on the brown algae Fucus vesiculosus and showing frequent shell-color polymorphisms in the wild. The evolutionary mechanism underlying this polymorphism is currently unknown.

Orb-web spider color polymorphism through the eyes of multiple prey and predators

, 2017
The sensory drive theory predicts that signals, sensory systems, and signaling behavior should coevolve. Variation in the sensory systems of prey and predators may explain the diversity of color signals, such as color polymorphism.
