Sex-dependent dominance maintains migration supergene in rainbow trout
Males and females often differ in their fitness optima for shared traits that have a shared
genetic basis, leading to sexual conflict. Morphologically differentiated sex chromosomes …

Regulatory changes in pterin and carotenoid genes underlie balanced color polymorphisms in the wall lizard
Reptiles use pterin and carotenoid pigments to produce yellow, orange, and red colors.
These conspicuous colors serve a diversity of signaling functions, but their molecular basis …
