Figure 4-. Spatial distribution of TYRP1R153C across the American black bear range.

Quantitative and spatial assessment of TYRP1R153C in Ursus americanus. (Inset) Hair color reflectance was compared to the SNP genotype (n = 317). We used t-tests to compare reflectance values between genotypes: homozygous ancestral and heterozygous P=2.02 x 10−11; and heterozygous and homozygous derived P=1.41 x 10−4. These results indicate the allele acts with semidominance. The geospatial pattern of R153C across the range (n = 906) where color denotes genotype (black: homozygous ancestral GG; brown: heterozygous GA; gold: homozygous derived AA), with the species range shown in dark grey.
