Molecular Variation in the Agouti Gene in Pocket Mice from the Carrizozo Malpaís Lava Flow
Color variation in pocket mice, Chaetodipus intermedius, presents a unique opportunity to study genes contributing to convergent adaptation. While pocket mice generally have light coats matching sand-colored rocks on which they live, dark mice are found on basalt lava flows in the desert southwest....
