Chairman, I would wonder if shell color is a secondary issue to behaviors- maybe the lighter shelled wild torts spend more time in the sun, so the light color reflects some of the intensity, while most dark shells spend less time in the open sun? Just a thought, so far.
For a moment I wondered if melanin might play a role, but melanin heavy Red-foots pyramid with the best of them.
