Consistent Frequency of Color Morphs in the Sea Star Pisaster ochraceus (Echinodermata:Asteriidae) across Open-Coast Habitats in the Northeastern Pacific1

Summary
It is found that the frequency of orange sea stars in a population increases with the size of the animals in most populations, and the most parsimonious explanation is that adult color is a selectively neutral genetic trait that expresses itself ontogenetically.
