A call to integrate non‐visual functions of pigments and their interactions with visual functions to understand global change impacts on visual systems

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animal coloration serves a variety of visually related functions in nature (e.g. mate choice, aposematism and camouflage) but the pigments in integumentary tissues such as skin, scales and feathers may also serve functions unrelated to the visual environment (e.g ...

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Faced with climate warming, ectothermic species shift their breeding phenology, which is in part attributed to an acceleration of gestation or incubation in warmer environments.
