Spread of yellow-bill-color alleles favored by selection in the long-tailed finch hybrid system

Carotenoid pigments produce the yellow and red colors of birds and other vertebrates. Despite their importance in social signaling and sexual selection, our understanding of how carotenoid ornamentation evolves in nature remains limited. Here, we examine the long-tailed finch Poephila acuticauda, an...
