The desert clicker grasshopper (Ligurotettix coquilletti) is a ubiquitous resident of North America's western deserts (Sonoran, Mojave, and Peninsular Deserts, with isolated populations in the Great Basin). Two color morphs (banded and uniform) are found at variable frequencies across the the species' range. We used RADcap sequencing to test the hypothesis that variation in genomic organization (structural variants) underlies color polymorphism. Less...
