Adaptive Variation in Beach Mice Produced by Two Interacting Pigmentation Genes

Little is known about the genetic basis of ecologically important morphological variation such as the diverse color patterns of mammals. Here we identify genetic changes contributing to an adaptive difference in color pattern between two subspecies of oldfield mice (Peromyscus polionotus). One mainl...
