Fish chromatophores—from molecular motors to animal behavior
Chromatophores are pigment-bearing cells of lower vertebrates, including fish that cater for
the ability of individual animals to shift body coloration and pattern. Color change provides …

[LIVRE][B] Avoiding attack: the evolutionary ecology of crypsis, aposematism, and mimicry
Avoiding Attack discusses the diversity of mechanisms by which prey avoid predator attacks
and explores how such defensive mechanisms have evolved through natural selection. It …

Magic traits in magic fish: understanding color pattern evolution using reef fish
Color patterns provide easy access to phenotypic diversity and allow the questioning of the
adaptive value of traits or the constraints acting on phenotypic evolution. Reef fish offer a …

Rapid body color change provides lizards with facultative crypsis in the eyes of their avian predators
Color change serves many antipredator functions and may allow animals to better match
environments or disrupt outlines to prevent detection. Rapid color change could potentially …

Are fish communities on coral reefs becoming less colourful?
An organism's colouration is often linked to the environment in which it lives. The fishes that
inhabit coral reefs are extremely diverse in colouration, but the specific environmental …

The bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa senses and gradually responds to interspecific competition for iron
Phenotypic plasticity in response to competition is a well-described phenomenon in higher
organisms. Here, we show that also bacteria have the ability to sense the presence of …
