摘要：

Eggs collected from an aviary colony of Village Weavers (Ploceus cucullatus cucullatus) over a 14-year period varied in color among different females from white to emerald or turquoise, and from many spots to few or none. Color and amount of spotting of the eggs of a given female were constant throughout her life (based on 815 eggs from 37 females). Color was judged from the Villalobos Color Atlas. Mendelian analysis of five different hypotheses showed that inheritance of background color of eggs in 20 different crosses was consistent only with a hypothesis of two independent pairs of autosomal alleles for hue.
