Morph specific foraging behavior by a polymorphic raptor under variable light conditions

Abstract Colour polymorphism may be maintained within a population by disruptive-selection. One hypothesis proposes that different morphs are adapted to different ambient light conditions, with lighter morphs having a selective advantage in bright conditions and darker morphs having advantages in da...
