Exposure to UV radiance predicts repeated evolution of concealed black skin in birds
Plumage is among the most well-studied components of integumentary colouration.
However, plumage conceals most skin in birds, and as a result the presence, evolution and …

[HTML][HTML] Distribution, relationship, and environmental driving factors of chlorophyll-a and algal cell density: A national view of China
Abstract Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and algal cell density (ACD) are vital for assessing algal

Large scale phenotypic characterisation of Hierophis viridiflavus (Squamata: Serpentes): climatic and environmental drivers suggest the role of evolutionary …
Colour variability is largely widespread in the animal world as it is tightly associated with
fitness and survivorship. Therefore, the drivers and implications of such variability have been …

Why is fruit colour so variable? Phylogenetic analyses reveal relationships between fruit‐colour evolution, biogeography and diversification
Aim Are different fruit colours related to large‐scale patterns of dispersal, distribution and
diversification? Here, we investigate this question for the first time, using phylogenetic …

On the potential role of the neural crest cells in integrating pigmentation into behavioral and physiological syndromes
Melanin pigments color the integument of vertebrates with shades of rufous, gray, and black.
In numerous wild species, melanin-based coloration associates to different behavioral …

Melanin‐based color variation in response to changing climates in snakes
Melanism, the process of heavier melanin deposition, can interact with climate variation at
both micro and macro scales, ultimately influencing color evolution in organisms. While the …
