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.

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.

SUPERSYMMETRY IN QUANTUM MECHANICS OF COLORED PARTICLES [PDF]
Modern Physics Letters A, 2001 The role of supercharge operators is studied in the case of a Dirac particle moving in a constant chromomagnetic field. The Hamiltonian is factorized and the ground state wave function in the case of unbroken supersymmetry is determined.

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 ...

Color Vision Mechanisms in the Monkey [PDF]
The Journal of General Physiology, 1960 The monkey, Macaca mulatta, was chosen as the experimental animal for the investigation of the physiological mechanisms of color vision for two reasons: there is excellent behavioral evidence that the rhesus monkey has color vision (this is not true for some of the animals which have been used in similar investigations); furthermore, its color vision ...

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

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
