Species-specific description: Braun et al. (2024): "In a hybrid zone between two tropical lekking birds, yellow male plumage of one species [M. vitellinus] has introgressed asymmetrically replacing white plumage of another [M. candei] via sexual selection. ... Through genome-scale DNA sequencing of hybrids and each species in the genus, we identify BCO2 as the major gene responsible for the color polymorphism."
