A type of natural selection known as negative frequency dependent selection is thought to be a major force promoting genetic diversity in important traits. Read research in a new issue of #PhilTransB: buff.ly/bOhpNlE

Polymorphisms are fun to study, here is a butterfly one. Negative freq.dependence works to maintain things but where does it come from? Temporal variation works but not always! @koraklein.bsky.social and @chriswheat.bsky.social looked into this in detail. royalsocietypublishing.org/rstb/article...

Emergence time difference can create negative frequency dependence and maintain a colour polymorphism in Colias butterflies

Abstract. Many species of Colias butterflies show a female-limited colour polymorphism where the dominant Alba allele leads to white wings, faster developm
