Leif Andersson and colleagues report the genome sequence of the ruff, a bird species with three male morphs with different reproductive strategies. Satellite and faeder morphs differ from the common independent morph by a 4.5-Mb inversion that occurred approximately 3.8 million years ago, and multiple genetic changes within this inverted region are associated with the satellite and faeder morphs.
