Mixed signals? Morphological and molecular evidence suggest a color polymorphism in some neotropical polythore damselflies.

The study of color polymorphisms (CP) has provided profound insights into the maintenance of genetic variation in natural populations. We here offer the first evidence for an elaborate wing polymorphism in the Neotropical damselfly genus Polythore, which consists of 21 described species, distributed...
