Ancient balancing selection at tan underlies female colour dimorphism in Drosophila erecta

Sexual dimorphism is common in nature. Here, the authors combine population genetics and functional experiments to show that a region containing the gene tan contributes to sex-limited colour dimorphism in Drosophila erectaand that this dimorphism has likely been adaptively maintained for millions o...
