Museum genomics links MC1R alleles to adaptive winter coat color polymorphism in the long-tailed weasel

João Pimenta, Inês Miranda, Liliana Farelo…·José Melo‐Ferreira

The paper uses museum genomics to link MC1R alleles to winter coat color polymorphism in long-tailed weasels, identifying deletions associated with different color morphs.

Ancient balanced polymorphism underlies long-standing adaptation for seasonal camouflage in the least weasel

Inês Miranda, Raquel Ruivo, Liliana Farelo…·José Melo‐Ferreira

The paper identifies a mutation in the MC1R gene responsible for seasonal camouflage in least weasels and shows it was maintained by spatially varying selection.
