A supergene determines highly divergent male reproductive morphs in the ruff
Three strikingly different alternative male mating morphs (aggressive “Independents”, semi-cooperative “Satellites” and female mimic “Faeders”) coexist as a balanced polymorphism in the ruff, Philomachus pugnax, a lek-breeding wading bird(1,2,3). Major differences in body size, ornamentation, and ag...
