Figure 2. Schematic map showing the distribution of aberrant coat patterns in Polynesian rats.

The distribution of coat polymorphisms is random over the introduced range. No aberrant coat patterns were found in populations from the native range (mainland Southeast Asia), except for an albino specimen from Vietnam (not indicated here; see Fig. 3). The circles show details of ventral (A) and dorsal skins (B); all skins are shown in full in Figs. 3–6 and Figs. S1–S2. (A) Malenge, Togian Islands, Sulawesi. (B) Sulawesi, Indonesia. (C) Java, Indonesia. (D) Batam, Riau Islands, Sumatra. (E) Mindoro, Philippines. (F) Luzon, Philippines. (G) Pohnpei, Caroline Islands. (H) Kure atoll, Hawaii. (I) Kauai, Hawaii. (J) Hawaii, Hawaii. (K) Kiritimati. For specimen details, see Table 2. Image credit: George Lyras.
