First records of pigmentation anomalies in the marsh deer at its southernmost stronghold: a warning message?

First records of pigmentation anomalies in the marsh deer at its southernmost stronghold: a warning message?

Pigmentation anomalies (e.g., albinism, leucism) in Neotropical mammals are considered rare. Identifying the spatiotemporal distribution and prevalence of pigmentation anomalies is important to better assess the evolutionary basis of color variation. The southernmost population of the marsh deer ( B...

Zusammenfassung:Pigmentation anomalies (e.g., albinism, leucism) in Neotropical mammals are considered rare. Identifying the spatiotemporal distribution and prevalence of pigmentation anomalies is important to better assess the evolutionary basis of color variation. The southernmost population of the marsh deer ( Blastocerus dichotomus ) occurs within a relatively small area (
