Urban eastern gray squirrels may face a hidden selective force: traffic! Melanistic squirrels are more visible to drivers, leading to fewer roadkill deaths compared to gray morphs. This may help explain why darker squirrels thrive in cities 🐿️.

DNA methylation shapes vertebrate genomes by depleting CpGs. Study in 6 spp. shows that protein-coding genes keep more CpGs, especially in regulatory/stress genes. This bias may mark adaptive potential & genome optimization. 📸Fig 2: Forces acting on CpG
