A single gene orchestrates androgen variation underlying male mating morphs in ruffs | Science

Androgens are pleiotropic and play pivotal roles in the formation and variation of sexual phenotypes. We show that differences in circulating androgens between the three male mating morphs in ruff sandpipers are linked to 17-beta hydroxysteroid … Androgens are pleiotropic and play pivotal roles in the formation and variation of sexual phenotypes.
