Gene frequencies and body weights of feral cats, Felis catus (L.), from five Australian localities and from Macquarie Island
Frequencies of seven pelage-related genes and a coefficient of darkness were scored on groups of feral cats collected from five localities in south-eastern Australia and from Macquarie Island. There were significant differences in the frequencies of some of these genes and the coefficient of darknes...
