The level of putative carotenoid-binding proteins determines the body color in two species of endemic Lake Baikal amphipods. [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Color is an essential clue for intra- and interspecies communication, playing a role in selection and speciation. Coloration can be based on nanostructures and pigments; carotenoids and carotenoproteins are among the most widespread pigments in animals ...

Identification and characterization of circRNAs from different body color leopard coral grouper (Plectropomus leopardus)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play key roles in several biological processes in animals and their regulatory mechanism in body color formation or pigmentation in fish remains unclear.

Genesis of the Body Color of Brazilian Gem-Quality Yellow-Green Opal

Crystals, 2023
The chromaticity characterization and influencing factors of the body color of 28 yellow-green opals were studied through Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR), energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (ED-XRF), ultraviolet-visible ...

LncRNA–miRNA–mRNA ceRNA network of different body colors in Plectropomus leopardus

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a multifaceted role in transcriptional regulation, and the potential molecular regulatory mechanisms of lncRNAs and lncRNA–miRNA–mRNA networks in body color formation are of great significance for its selective ...

Sexual dimorphism in dynamic body color in the green anole lizard

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2023
Animals capable of rapid (i.e., physiological) body color change may use color to respond quickly to changing social or physical environments. Because males and females often differ in their environments, the sexes may use changes in body color ...

Inheritance and Biological Characterization of an Orange-nymph Mutant in Orius laevigatus (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae)

Insects, 2022
A mutation showing a distinct orange color in the nymph stages was found in Orius laevigatus (Fieber) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae), a key biological control agent in protected crops, used to control small pests, especially thrips.

Comparative Analysis of Facial Coloration between Introduced and Source Populations of the Red Wood Ant Formica paralugubris

Insects, 2022
The variation in the typical black-reddish color of red wood ants (Formica rufa group) has been recently suggested as a good indicator of habitat quality, being dependent on environmental conditions. However, the relative contribution of external factors

Effects of Fish Meal Replacement with Fermented Antarctic Krill Meal on Growth Performance, Body Color and Serum Biochemical Indexes of Koi Carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)

Progress in Fishery Sciences, 2023
To investigate the effects of replacing fish meal with fermented Antarctic krill meal on growth performance, body color, and serum biochemical indexes of koi carp, 450 koi carp with an average body weight of (4.92±0.22) g were randomly divided into five ...

Diet affects body color and energy metabolism in the Baikal endemic amphipod Eulimnogammarus cyaneus maintained in laboratory conditions

Biological Communications, 2021
Proper diet is critical for laboratory-reared animals, as it may affect not only their welfare, but also experimental results. Amphipods (Crustacea: Amphipoda) play important roles in ecosystems and are often used in environmental research.
