Group benefit associated with polymorphic trichromacy in a Malagasy primate (Propithecus verreauxi)

In some primate lineages, polymorphisms in the X-linked M/LWS opsin gene have produced intraspecific variation in color vision. In these species, heterozygous females exhibit trichromacy, while males and homozygous females exhibit dichromacy. The evolutionary persistence of these polymorphisms sugge...
