	Sexual Dichromatism in Two Species of the Columbidae
		Certainly the genetic interactions with the environment both internal (especially hormones) and external can be complex.
		SUMMARY Sexual dichromatism in two species of the Columbidae exemplify the two extreme types of control: "direct" genetic control, and sex hormonal control.
		Reversal of the predominant sex hormone by injection of testosterone propionate or estradiol benzoate in mature individuals of the Dwarf Turtle Dove (Streptopelia tran- quebarica) resulted in a corresponding change in the feather color in the head and wing which in this species shows sexual dichromatism.
