Oscillating flower colour changes of Causonis japonica (Thunb.) Raf. (Vitaceae) linked to sexual phase changes [PDF]
Flower colour change may represent an ‘honest signal’ for pollinators, denoting flowers with good conditions for rewards and pollination. All previously reported flower colour changes are unidirectional, except for an incomplete case in one Fabaceae ...

The Stiles-Crawford colour change [PDF]
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.
