  • A dominant allele controls development into female mimic male and diminutive female ruffs 

    Lank, David B.; Farrell, Lindsay L.; Burke, Terry; Piersma, Theunis; McRae, Susan B. (2013-12)
    Maintaining polymorphisms for genes with effects of ecological significance may involve conflicting selection in males and females. We present data from a captive population of ruffs (Philomachus pugnax) showing that a ...

  • Genetic mapping of the female mimic morph locus in the ruff 

    Farrell, Lindsay L.; Burke, Terry; Slate, Jon; McRae, Susan B.; Lank, David B. (2013-11-20)
    Ruffs (Aves: Philomachus pugnax) possess a genetic polymorphism for male mating behaviour resulting in three permanent alternative male reproductive morphs: (i) territorial 'Independents', (ii) non-territorial 'Satellites', ...
