The paper identifies a gene duplication linked to colour polymorphism in male wood tiger moths, showing it produces white wing coloration and is associated with behavioural and life-history differences.

The paper shows CLC7/OSTM1 acidifies melanosomes and negatively regulates pigmentation, with OCA2 counteracting CLC7 mutations.
