Understanding pseudo-albinism in sole (Solea senegalensis): a transcriptomics and metagenomics approach [PDF]
, 2019 Pseudo-albinism is a pigmentation disorder observed in flatfish aquaculture with a complex, multi-factor aetiology. We tested the hypothesis that pigmentation abnormalities are an overt signal of more generalised modifications in tissue structure and ...

Absorption Changes in Bacterial Chromatophores
Biophysical Journal, 1964 The magnitude and kinetics of photo-induced absorption changes in bacterial chromatophores (R. rubrum, R. spheroides and Chromatium) have been studied as a function of potential, established by added redox couples. No photochanges can be observed above +0.55 v or below -0.15 v.

Dynamic colour change predicts movement behaviour in a diadromous fish
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Dynamic changes in colour and pattern facilitate key behavioural functions in animals, particularly camouflage for predator avoidance. However, the benefits of colour change depend on the environmental and behavioural contexts. We tested how colour change interacts with movement behaviour in a freshwater fish by filming individuals in an open ...

Functional Analysis of NdBCO-like4 Gene in Pigmentation of Neocaridina denticulata sinensis
FishesCherry shrimp (Neocaridina denticulata sinensis) is one of the main ornamental shrimp because of its bright body color. β, β-carotene 9′,10′-dioxygenase (BCO2) is closely related to the body color produced by carotenoids.

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Among the few species of Microcambeva reported as occurring in more than one hydrographic basin, M. ribeirae has been previously listed from both the Ribeira de Iguape and the Guaraqueçaba basins. However, morphological and molecular analyses revealed that the specimens from Guaraqueçaba represent a new species, which is described in this ...

Behavior and Body Patterns of the Larger Pacific Striped Octopus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Over thirty years ago anecdotal accounts of the undescribed Larger Pacific Striped Octopus suggested behaviors previously unknown for octopuses. Beak-to-beak mating, dens shared by mating pairs, inking during mating and extended spawning were mentioned ...

Black and White: Structural and Functional Aspects of Dermal Chromatophores of the Marbled Whiptail Lizard (Cnemidophorus Marmoratus) [PDF]
, 2004 The skin of reptiles is a complex organ with many sensory, regulatory and behavioral functions. Desert reptiles face a suite of challenges as their skin contacts hot-dry environmental surfaces.

The basic genetic toolkit to move in with your photosynthetic partner [PDF]
, 2015 The origin of photosynthetic organelles via endosymbiosis more than 1 Gya ago was a major detonator of eukaryotic diversification. The evolution of a stable endosymbiotic relationship between eukaryotic cells and photosynthetic cyanobacteria involved ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract A new species of Pyrrhulina is described based on morphological and molecular evidence. Pyrrhulina punctata is distinguished from all congeners by the presence of a series of 7 to 16 irregular blotches of dark pigmentation on the flanks, equally marked in juveniles and adult specimens, the presence of 26–28 lateral‐line scales, 17–21 maxillary
