MC1R genotype and plumage colouration in the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata): population structure generates artefactual associations

Polymorphisms at the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) gene have been linked to coloration in many vertebrate species. However, the potentially confounding influence of population structure has rarely been controlled for. We explored the role of the MC1R in a model avian system by sequencing the coding...
