Climate mediates color morph turnover in a species exhibiting alternative reproductive strategies

Abstract Sexual selection is considered the primary driver of morph turnover in many color polymorphic taxa, yet the potential for other factors (like climate) to contribute to polymorphism maintenance and evolution remains unclear. Appreciation for a role of environmental conditions in the maintena...
