Size, not color, drives assortative mating and influences fledging survival, weight and immunity in a polymorphic owl by Deseada Parejo, Erick González-Medina, Ángel Cruz-Miralles, Jesús Miguel Avilés

“…While color-based assortative mating had no direct impact on any of the fitness proxies studied, greyer pairs exhibited higher feeding rates to offspring than browner pairs. These results underscore the importance of simultaneously considering traits that may covary with color and shape mating patterns to understand the persistence of color polymorphisms in nature.…”
