In order to understand molecular and genetic mechanism of color pattern formation, not only
adult phenotypes but also processes and mechanisms of color production and pattern …

Abstract The holotype (MHM-K2) of the Eocene cheloniine Tasbacka danica is arguably one
of the best preserved juvenile fossil sea turtles on record. Notwithstanding compactional …

Understanding the functions of animal coloration has been a long‐standing question in
evolutionary biology. For example, the widespread occurrence of striking longitudinal stripes …

Background Reptiles exhibit a wide variety of skin colors, which serve essential roles in
survival and reproduction. However, the molecular basis of these conspicuous colors …

Deflection occurs in predator–prey interactions where prey possess traits that influence the
position of the predator's initial contact with the prey's body in a way that enhances the prey's …

Many animals undergo changes in functional colors during development, requiring the
replacement of integument or pigment cells. A classic example of defensive color switching …

In animals, bright colors often evolve to mimic other species when a resemblance is
selectively favored. Understanding the proximate mechanisms underlying such color …

Many animals undergo dramatic changes in colour during development,. Changes in
predation risk during ontogeny are associated with spectacular switches in defensive …

In animals, pigments but also nanostructures determine skin coloration, and many shades
are produced by combining both mechanisms. Recently, we discovered a new mechanism …

In ectothermic predator‐prey relationships, evasion of predation by prey depends on
physiological and behavioural responses relating to the thermal biology of both predator …
