Shifty Frogs: Evidence of Iridescence Among Amphibians
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Iridescence is a striking optical phenomenon observed in some animals whereby colour or reflectivity changes based on viewing angle, such that two observers in different locations may simultaneously perceive the same tissue differently. Among amphibians, there is limited photographic evidence of tissues displaying colour shifts that define ...

Transient ectopic overexpression of agouti-signalling protein 1 (asip1) induces pigment anomalies in flatfish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 While flatfish in the wild exhibit a pronounced countershading of the dorso-ventral pigment pattern, malpigmentation is commonly observed in reared animals. In fish, the dorso-ventral pigment polarity is achieved because a melanization inhibition factor (

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT The leopard coral grouper, Plectropomus leopardus Lacepède, 1802, is an ecologically and economically important species in the family Epinephelidae. However, the absence of a complete reference genome has impeded advanced genetic research on this species, and the phylogenetic position of Epinephelidae within Perciformes remains unresolved ...

A Recessive oca2 Mutation Underlies Albinism in Xiphophorus Fish
Pigment Cell &Melanoma Research, Volume 39, Issue 4, July 2026.Genetic mapping of albino Xiphophorus hellerii showed that albinism is associated with a recessive oca2 variant. This variant leads to early termination of the Oca2 protein. This study identifies a novel model system to investigate conserved mechanisms of pigmentation biology.

Ultrasensitive bionic photonic-electronic skin with wide red-shift mechanochromic response
Light: Advanced ManufacturingMimicking animal skin is an effective strategy for enhancing the performance of artificial skin. Inspired by a chameleon’s iridophore and a spider’s slit organ, a novel photonic-electronic skin (PE-skin) with excellent optical/electrical dual-sensing ...

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.The review discusses stimuli‐responsive hydrogels as soft optical materials that translate physical, chemical, and biological cues into refractive‐index, scattering, birefringence, diffraction, and transparency changes. It examines major stimulus classes and photonic architectures for biosensing, waveguiding, adaptive lenses, smart windows, and therapy.

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 6, June 2026.Zebrafish pde6c mutants undergo photoreceptor degeneration from 5 dpf, but rods regenerate from 4 wpf. scRNA‐seq of retinal microglia reveals dynamic change of states between 5 dpf and 4 wpf. Two states emerge specifically during regeneration. ABSTRACT Microglia, brain‐resident immune cells, maintain brain homeostasis.
