Structural background of intraspecific color polymorphism and the driver of geographic patterns in a shining leaf chafer
Our results elucidate the structural background of color and identify the possible natural selection factor from an evolutionary standpoint. This aids in understanding species formation, as well as prospective dynamic distribution of the phenotypes under the pressure of climate change.
