Disruptive coloration and habitat use by seahorses [PDF]
Neotropical Ichthyology, 2019 Predation avoidance is a primary factor influencing survival. Therefore, any trait that affects the risk of predation, such as camouflage, is expected to be under selection pressure.

The R2R3-MYB transcription factor GaPC controls petal coloration in cotton
Crop Journal, 2023 Although a few cases of genetic epistasis in plants have been reported, the combined analysis of genetically phenotypic segregation and the related molecular mechanism remains rarely studied. Here, we have identified a gene (named GaPC) controlling petal

Edge-enhanced disruptive camouflage impairs shape discrimination [PDF]
, 2019 Disruptive colouration (DC) is a form of camouflage comprised of areas of pigmentation across a target’s surface that form false edges, which are said to impede detection by disguising the outline of the target.

Variação intraespecífica da cor da pelagem de uma espécie de pequeno roedor sul-americano [PDF]
, 2016 Intra-specific color variation is often underestimated by researchers, and among mammalian species, intra-specific differences in coloration are poorly documented for most species.

Development and genetics of red coloration in the zebrafish relative Danio albolineatus
eLife, 2021 Animal pigment patterns play important roles in behavior and, in many species, red coloration serves as an honest signal of individual quality in mate choice.

Poison Frog Colors Are Honest Signals Of Toxicity, Particularly For Bird Predators [PDF]
, 2012 Antipredator defenses and warning signals typically evolve in concert. However, the extensive variation across taxa in both these components of predator deterrence and the relationship between them are poorly understood.

Wrinkle nanostructures generate a novel form of blue structural color in great argus flight feathers
iScience, 2023 Summary: Currently known structural colors in feathers are caused by light scattering from periodic or amorphous arrangements of keratin, melanin, and air within barbs and barbules that comprise the feather vane. Structural coloration in the largest part
