Integrated analysis of carotenoid metabolites and transcriptome identifies key genes controlling carotenoid compositions and content in sweetpotato tuberous roots (Ipomoea batatas L.)

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.) with different depths of yellow color contains different compositions of carotenoids, which are beneficial for human health. In this study, we performed an integrated analysis of metabolomic and transcriptomic to identify

Proximate causes of the red face of the bald uakari monkey (Cacajao calvus) [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2015
In social species, such as primates, facial appearances transmit a variety of social signals. Although it is suggested that the intense red colour of the face of the bald uakari monkey might be an indicator of health, this hypothesis still has not been ...

Colored percolation [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2017
A model named `Colored Percolation' has been introduced with its infinite number of versions in two dimensions. The sites of a regular lattice are randomly occupied with probability $p$ and are then colored by one of the $n$ distinct colors using uniform probability $q = 1/n$.

Post-attack aposematic display in prey facilitates predator avoidance learning

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2016
Warning signals protect unpalatable prey from predation because predators who learn the association between the warning signal and prey unprofitability decrease attacks on the prey.

Sexually selected lip colour indicates male group-holding status in the mating season in a multi-level primate society [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2015
Sexual selection typically produces ornaments in response to mate choice, and armaments in response to male–male competition. Unusually among mammals, many primates exhibit colour signals that may be related to one or both processes.
