Molecules, 2020 Aquaculture represents a major part of the world’s food supply. This area of food production is developing rapidly, and as such the tools and analytical techniques used to monitor and assess the quality of fish need to also develop and improve.

Maintenance of melanophore morphology and survival is cathepsin and vps11 dependent in zebrafish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Here, we characterize a Danio rerio zebrafish pigment cell mutant (melanophore integrity mutant), which displays a defect in maintenance of melanophore and iridophore number.

Magnetic Control of the Light Reflection Anisotropy in a Biogenic Guanine Microcrystal Platelet [PDF]
, 2015 Bioinspired but static optical devices such as lenses, retarders, and reflectors have had a significant impact on the designs of many man-made optical technologies. However, while numerous adaptive and flexible optical mechanisms are found throughout the

A quantitative modelling approach to zebrafish pigment pattern formation
eLife, 2020 Pattern formation is a key aspect of development. Adult zebrafish exhibit a striking striped pattern generated through the self-organisation of three different chromatophores.

Understanding pseudo-albinism in sole (Solea senegalensis): a transcriptomics and metagenomics approach [PDF]
, 2019 Pseudo-albinism is a pigmentation disorder observed in flatfish aquaculture with a complex, multi-factor aetiology. We tested the hypothesis that pigmentation abnormalities are an overt signal of more generalised modifications in tissue structure and ...

Black and White: Structural and Functional Aspects of Dermal Chromatophores of the Marbled Whiptail Lizard (Cnemidophorus Marmoratus) [PDF]
, 2004 The skin of reptiles is a complex organ with many sensory, regulatory and behavioral functions. Desert reptiles face a suite of challenges as their skin contacts hot-dry environmental surfaces.

Optimal Anesthetic Regime for Motionless Three-Dimensional Image Acquisition During Longitudinal Studies of Adult Nonpigmented Zebrafish [PDF]
, 2017 With many live imaging techniques, it is crucial that a deep level of anesthesia is reached and maintained throughout image acquisition without reducing zebrafish viability. This is particularly true for three-dimensional tomographic imaging modalities.

Honest signals and sexual conflict: Female lizards carry undesirable indicators of quality
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Sex differences in animal coloration often result from sex‐dependent regulatory mechanisms. Still, some species exhibit incomplete sexual dimorphism as females carry a rudimentary version of a costly male trait, leading to intralocus sexual conflict. The

Thyroid hormone regulates distinct paths to maturation in pigment cell lineages [PDF]
, 2019 Thyroid hormone (TH) regulates diverse developmental events and can drive disparate cellular outcomes. In zebrafish, TH has opposite effects on neural crest derived pigment cells of the adult stripe pattern, limiting melanophore population expansion, yet
