A genetic mechanism for sexual dichromatism in birds
Sexual dichromatism, a difference in coloration between males and females, may be due to
sexual selection for ornamentation and mate choice. Here, we show that carotenoid-based …

The persistence of polymorphisms across species radiations
Studies on polymorphisms have been foundational to our understanding of evolution. The
presence of different phenotypic morphs is sometimes considered a precursor to speciation …
