Our paper is on the cover of @currentbiology.bsky.social : a strawberry poison frog with the most common color morph, living up to its common name 馃崜. In this issue, we uncover the genetic basis of color variation in frogs from Bocas del Toro, where blue, green, yellow, orange, and red morphs occur

The last chapter of my PhD is finally out !!!! In the same species, on neighboring islands, we see radically different warning colors emerge. Evolution in action:

Aguilar-G贸mez et al. use exome sequencing of 347 strawberry poison frogs to uncover
the genetic basis of color variation. They identify that kit, ttc39b, and bco1 underlie
