Evidence for selection on coloration in a Panamanian poison frog: a coalescent-based approach (original) (raw)

2010, Journal of Biogeography

AI-generated Abstract

Evidence for selection on coloration in a Panamanian poison frog is explored through a coalescent-based approach focusing on Oophaga pumilio populations. The study combines phylogenetics and population genetics to investigate the relationship between phenotypic traits, particularly coloration, and genetic divergence across 15 populations in the Bocas del Toro archipelago. By comparing haplotype monophyly levels of a neutral marker to a hypothetical gene influencing coloration, the research aims to differentiate between neutral processes and divergent selection influencing the rapid phenotypic differentiation observed.
