Mechanisms underlying the formation and evolution of vertebrate color patterns
Vertebrates exhibit a wide range of color patterns, which play critical roles in mediating intra-
and interspecific communication. Because of their diversity and visual accessibility, color …

Beyond genotype‐phenotype maps: Toward a phenotype‐centered perspective on evolution
Evolutionary biology is paying increasing attention to the mechanisms that enable
phenotypic plasticity, evolvability, and extra‐genetic inheritance. Yet, there is a concern that …

The genomics and evolution of inter-sexual mimicry and female-limited polymorphisms in damselflies
Sex-limited morphs can provide profound insights into the evolution and genomic
architecture of complex phenotypes. Inter-sexual mimicry is one particular type of sex-limited …
