While13 Color polymorphisms occur throughout the animal kingdom, including in insects (1), fish (2), and reptiles (3, 4). Within a population, multiple discrete morphs can be maintained if their relative fitness is influenced by environmental factors that vary or when social and sexual competition favors morphs that are rare (5, 6). However, the phylogenetic and geographic distribution of polymorphism reveals that color morphs are frequently lost (1, 7–9). …
