Being red, blue and green: the genetic basis of coloration differences in the strawberry poison frog (Oophaga pumilio)
Abstract Background Animal coloration is usually an adaptive attribute, under strong local selection pressures and often diversified among species or populations. The strawberry poison frog (Oophaga pumilio) shows an impressive array of color morphs across its distribution in Central America. Here w...
