Insect coloration as a defence mechanism against visually hunting predators
, 2021 Insects utilise a wide variety of defence coloration including crypsis, aposematic coloration, and deflection patterns. The traditional view is that animals can maximise their cryptic coloration only on one background.

Evidence for coloration plasticity in the yellow‐bellied toad, Bombina variegata
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Phenotypic adaptation in terms of background color matching to the local habitat is an important mechanism for survival in prey species. Thus, intraspecific variation in cryptic coloration is expected among localities with dissimilar habitat features (e ...

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
