A supergene underlies linked variation in color and morphology in a Holarctic songbird
Trait genetic architecture influences how populations evolve and adapt. Genomic analysis finds that an inversion links genetic variation controlling redpoll finch color and bill shape, allowing the maintenance of latitudinal ecotypes despite a genome largely homogenized by gene flow.
