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

The roles of inter- and intra-sexual selection in behavioral isolation between native and invasive pupfishes [PDF]
, 2017 Male-male competition and female mate choice may both play important roles in driving and maintaining reproductive isolation between species. When previously allopatric species come into secondary contact with each other due to introductions, they ...

Effect of Blue Light-Emitting Diode (LED) Irradiation on Chlorophyll Metabolism in Ethylene-Degreened Early-Season Satsuma Mandarin Fruit [PDF]
Shipin Kexue, 2023 Early-season Satsuma mandarin fruit produced in Chongqing are usually harvested when the flesh reaches the acceptable internal maturity standards, while the peel is still green. In order to solve this problem, ethylene degreening treatment is widely used

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.

On dispersion curve coloring for mechanical metafilters
Scientific Reports, 2022 AbstractThis paper formalizes smooth curve coloring (i.e., curve identification) in the presence of curve intersections as an optimization problem, and investigates theoretically properties of its optimal solution. Moreover, it presents a novel automatic technique for solving such a problem.
