Covariation between eumelanic pigmentation and body mass only under specific conditions [PDF]
, 2018 Identifying the factors that mediate covariation between an ornament and other phenotypic attributes is important to determine the signaling function of ornaments.

Fluorescent quantification of melanin [PDF]
, 2016 Melanin quantification is reportedly performed by absorption spectroscopy, commonly at 405 nm. Here, we propose the implementation of fluorescence spectroscopy for melanin assessment.

Condition-dependence, pleiotropy and the handicap principle of sexual selection in melanin-based colouration. [PDF]
, 2015 The signalling function of melanin-based colouration is debated. Sexual selection theory states that ornaments should be costly to produce, maintain, wear or display to signal quality honestly to potential mates or competitors.

Superior Photoprotective Motifs and Mechanisms in Eumelanins Uncovered
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2014 Human pigmentation is a complex phenomenon commonly believed to serve a photoprotective function through the generation and strategic localization of black insoluble eumelanin biopolymers in sun exposed areas of the body. Despite compelling biomedical relevance to skin cancer and melanoma, eumelanin photoprotection is still an enigma: What makes this ...

Chemical Science, 2019 Eumelanin, the brown-black pigment found in organisms from bacteria to humans, dissipates solar energy and prevents photochemical damage. While the structure of eumelanin is unclear, it is thought to consist of an extremely heterogeneous collection of ...
