Phenotypic parallelism of color aberrations in the Northern fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus), American mink (Mustela vison), and sable (Martes zibellina)

  • Published:
Russian Journal of Genetics: Applied Research

Abstract

The frequency of color aberrations in the seal population of Commander Islands was studied. Albino, acromelanism, nonspecific piebaldness, golden, and ferret-type color phases were recorded at frequencies about 10−4. They are phenotypically similar to the same phases in sable and color mutations in farmbred American mink. The evolutionary significance of color aberrations in natural populations is discussed.
