Color polymorphic lures target different visual channels in prey
Evolution, 2016 Selection for signal efficacy in variable environments may favor color polymorphism, but little is known about this possibility outside of sexual systems. Here we used the color polymorphic orb-web spider Gasteracantha fornicata, whose yellow- or white-banded dorsal signal attracts dipteran prey, to test the hypothesis that morphs may be tuned to ...

InsectsLight is a fundamental ecological cue for insects, influencing physiological rhythms and behavior. We investigated how varying light intensities affect locomotion and foraging in H. axyridis color morphs, and examined the role of visual opsins.

Spectral Sensitivities and Color Signals in a Polymorphic Damselfly
PLoS ONE, 2014 Animal communication relies on conspicuous signals and compatible signal perception abilities. Good signal perception abilities are particularly important for polymorphic animals where mate choice can be a challenge. Behavioral studies suggest that polymorphic damselflies use their varying body colorations and/or color patterns as communication signal ...

Pigments of a color polymorphism in a cichlid fish
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1973 Abstract 1. 1. Cichlasoma citrinellum occurs as gray or gold morphs in lakes in Nicaragua. The gold morph is variable and individuals range from yellow to dark orange. 2. 2. The pigments responsible for the carotenoid coloration are e-carotene and canthaxanthin. The gray morph contains a carotenoid component and also heavy melanin deposits.

Functional assessment of human coding mutations affecting skin pigmentation using zebrafish.
PLoS ONE, 2012 A major challenge in personalized medicine is the lack of a standard way to define the functional significance of the numerous nonsynonymous, single nucleotide coding variants that are present in each human individual.

Polymorphic loci of coat color in mini-pigs
Vavilov Journal of Genetics and Breeding, 2016 The present work is phenomenological and purely descriptive. It shows polymorphism of colors in a breeding group of mini-pig in the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ICG SB RAS) and makes some assumptions about the nature of this genetic diversity.

Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionFlower color polymorphism is often attributed to selection pressures from Q9 pollinators or other non-pollinator stress factors. Generally, flower color polymorphism demonstrates effective acclimatization linked to either pollinator-mediated ...
