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

Functional 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 ...

Bluer in the city: urban male lizards exhibit more intense sexual coloration and lower parasite loads than non‐urban males

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The urban environment may exert different selective pressures on sexually selected traits than more pristine environments. Our study shows that sexual coloration is more saturated (bluer) in male lizards from urban environments than in male non‐urban lizards. The average parasite load is lower in urban lizards than in non‐urban lizards.

Area integrity index with random rearrangement (AIIRR): A new concept for quantifying disruptive colorations

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Disruptive coloration is one of the camouflaging strategies that use conspicuous coloration patterns to destroy the visual integrity of an object and interfere with the observer's visual perception. Such conspicuous coloration often divides the entire shape of the object into multiple areas, increasing the disruption effect. Here, we introduce

Impact of biostimulant use in agricultural crops (strawberries, leafy greens and mushrooms) under different horticultural cropping systems: A systematic review

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Overview of the effects of different biostimulant categories on horticulture crops (leafy greens, strawberry and mushrooms). Microbial biostimulants are the mostly studied category and positive effects in growth and yield were described. Biostimulant research is limited in spinach and mushroom crops and using certain types of biostimulants (e.g ...
