Ancient balancing selection at tan underlies female colour dimorphism in Drosophila erecta
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
A striking signal of ancient balancing selection is found at the ‘male-specific enhancer’ of tan, with exceptionally high sequence divergence between light and dark alleles, suggesting that this dimorphism has likely been adaptively maintained for millions of years.
