The mechanism of light and MSH-mediated color change in the lizard, Anolis carolinensis [PDF]
, 1997 Skin of the lizard, Anolis carolinensis, changes color from green to brown when stimulated with visible light or melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH). MSH and light-mediated responses involve melanosome dispersion within dermal melanophores. Color change

Color Expression on Dorsal Skin of Japanese Tree Frogs [PDF]
, 2006 Japanese tree frogs are known to change their body color readily according to external (ambient) or internal (mental) conditions. The coloration of the frog skin is shown by pigment cells distributed under the epidermis.

Dynamic pigmentary and structural coloration within cephalopod chromatophore organs [PDF]
, 2019 Chromatophores in cephalopod skin are known for fast changes in coloration due to light-scattering pigment granules. Here, authors demonstrate structural coloration facilitated by reflectin in sheath cells and offer insights into the interplay between ...

The Effect of The Divalent Cation Ionophore A23187 on Amphibian Melanophores and Iridophores
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1977 Calcium ions are required in the medium for the full darkening action of melanocyte-stimulating hormone, but not for its second messenger, cyclic adenosine monophosphate, on isolated frog skin. Thus, the possible effect of the divalent cation ionophore A23187 was studied, using the skin of Rana pipiens.
