Colour change and colour phases in Lethrinidae with insights into ecology [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Colour change is used by a wide range of animals. It is used for intra‐ and interspecific communication and crypsis, and can occur on morphological and physiological levels.

Explanation of the Colour Change in Alexandrites. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 AbstractAlexandrites are remarkable and rare gemstones. They display an extraordinary colour change according to the ambient lighting, from emerald green in daylight to ruby red in incandescent light from tungsten lamps or candles. While this colour change has been correctly attributed to chromium impurities and their absorption band in the yellow ...

Testing multiple hypotheses on the colour change of treefrogs in response to various external conditions [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Amphibians are famous for their ability to change colours. And a considerable number of studies have investigated the internal and external factors that affect the expression of this phenotypic plasticity.

The extent of rapid colour change in male agamid lizards is unrelated to overall sexual dichromatism [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Dynamic colour change is widespread in ectothermic animals, but has primarily been studied in the context of background matching. For most species, we lack quantitative data on the extent of colour change across different contexts.

Dynamic colour change as a signalling tool in bluelined goatfish (Upeneicthtys lineatus) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Many animal species can rapidly change their body colouration and patterning, but often the ecological drivers of such changes are unknown. Here, we explored dynamic colour change in the bluelined goatfish, Upeneichthys lineatus, a temperate marine ...

The Stiles-Crawford colour change [PDF]
Vision Research, 1974 Abstract To obtain the Stiles-Crawford colour change, the absorption of guided and unguided light by a cone outer segment as a function of the angle of incidence is estimated. The model is specified in two ways: the HE 1,1 model, based on a waveguide modal analysis, and the geometrical optics model.

Colour change of twig-mimicking peppered moth larvae is a continuous reaction norm that increases camouflage against avian predators [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Camouflage, and in particular background-matching, is one of the most common anti-predator strategies observed in nature. Animals can improve their match to the colour/pattern of their surroundings through background selection, and/or by plastic colour ...

The Geographical Variation of Colour Change in the Arabian Killifish (Aphaniops dispar Sensu Lato) From Freshwater and Marine Ecosystems [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionWidely distributed animals may exhibit substantial plastic physiological, morphological and behavioural responses to environmental changes. One such extraordinary form of plasticity is colour change, which varies substantially among most taxonomic groups.
