Neural innervation as a potential trigger of morphological color change and sexual dimorphism in cichlid fish [PDF]
, 2020 Many species change their coloration during ontogeny or even as adults. Color change hereby often serves as sexual or status signal. The cellular and subcellular changes that drive color change and how they are orchestrated have been barely understood ...

ULTRASTRUCTURE OF A CEPHALOPOD PHOTOPHORE. II. IRIDOPHORES AS REFLECTORS AND TRANSMITTERS
The Biological Bulletin, 1974 The iridophores of one type of photophore of the deep sea squid, Pterygioteuthis microlampas were examined with the electron microscope and four different types were found. Three of these types have not been previously described. The regular iridophores of the posterior cup appear to be one-fourth wave length reflectors and redirect the light produced ...

Structural colour in Chondrus crispus. [PDF]
, 2015 The marine world is incredibly rich in brilliant and intense colours. Photonic structures are found in many different species and provide extremely complex optical responses that cannot be achieved solely by pigments.

Changes in spectral reflexions from the iridophores of the neon tetra. [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 1982 1. The iridescent stripe of the freshwater teleost, the neon tetra, changes from green in the daytime to violet‐blue at night. 2. Spectral reflectance measurements were used to follow these colour changes. 3. Light causes a shift in reflectance to longer wavelengths in living fish and in isolated tissue from the lateral stripe.

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient cell population that emerges from the dorsal neural tube during neurulation and migrates extensively throughout the embryo. Among their diverse derivatives, glial cells (such as Schwann and satellite ganglionic cells) and melanocytes represent two major lineages. In vitro studies suggested they share a common

On the fourth Diadema species (Diadema-sp) from Japan. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Four long-spined sea urchin species in the genus Diadema are known to occur around the Japanese Archipelago. Three species (D. savignyi, D. setosum, and D. paucispinum) are widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific Ocean.

Dynamic colour change predicts movement behaviour in a diadromous fish
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Dynamic changes in colour and pattern facilitate key behavioural functions in animals, particularly camouflage for predator avoidance. However, the benefits of colour change depend on the environmental and behavioural contexts. We tested how colour change interacts with movement behaviour in a freshwater fish by filming individuals in an open ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 The East African adaptive radiations of cichlid fishes are renowned for their diversity in coloration. Yet, the developmental basis of pigment pattern formation remains largely unknown.
