Assessing the role of pleiotropy in the evolution of animal color and behavior: a meta-analysis of experimental studies

Sarah N. Ruckman, Eve A. Humphrey, Lily Muzzey…·Kimberly A. Hughes

This paper conducts a meta-analysis of experimental studies to assess the role of pleiotropy in the evolution of animal color and behavior, finding a positive association between aggression and coloration across species.
