Microbial pigments play multiple roles in the ecosystem construction, survival, and fitness of
all kinds of organisms. Considerably, microbial (bacteria, fungi, yeast, and microalgae) …

The visual pigments known as opsins are the primary molecular basis for colour vision in
animals. Insects are among the most diverse of animal groups and their visual systems …

It has long been suggested that tropical species are generally more colourful than temperate
species, but whether latitudinal gradients in organismal colourfulness exist remains …

Interdependent relationships among humans and nature often go overlooked, delaying
better environmental, social and public health outcomes. Emerging approaches have …

The mass of the Milky Way is a critical quantity that, despite decades of research, remains
uncertain within a factor of two. Until recently, most studies have used dynamical tracers in …

Flower colour is mainly due to the presence and type of pigments. Pollinator preferences
impose selection on flower colour that ultimately acts on flower pigments. Knowing how …

Soft actuators with variable signal/color play an important role in the fields of targeted
locomotion, artificial phototropism, drug screening, cargo transportation, and interactive …

Understanding the molecular basis of reproductive isolation and speciation is a key goal of
evolutionary genetics. In the South American genus Petunia, the R2R3-MYB transcription …

In the perception of color, wavelengths of light reflected off objects are transformed into the
derived quantities of brightness, saturation and hue. Neurons responding selectively to hue …

Pollination and seed dispersal are crucial processes for plant reproduction, sharing
ecological relevance and similarities, yet they have rarely been considered together …
