Explaining the evolutionary origin and maintenance of color polymorphisms is a major
challenge in evolutionary biology. Such polymorphisms are commonly thought to reflect the …

Colour polymorphisms are thought to be maintained by complex evolutionary processes,
some of which require that the colours of the alternative morphs function as chromatic …

Female common lizards display variation in their ventral colour, ranging from pale yellow to
bright orange. In a previous study, we proposed a discrete classification of this variation into …
