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.

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 10, 31 May 2026.This study investigates the role of the vision gene RGR using novel dual knockout zebrafish models. The loss of rgra and rgrb results in zebrafish larvae having reduced visual function and altered retinoid profiles under light but not dark conditions. The OKR phenotype is enhanced under higher light intensities.

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 38, 11 May 2026.Cephalopod‐inspired photonic microparticles with dynamic structural coloration are fabricated via confined self‐assembly of linear block copolymers into ellipsoids containing stacked lamellae. Embedded superparamagnetic nanoparticles enable rapid magnetic alignment, restoring vivid, angle‐dependent color.

Bar, stripe and spot development in sand-dwelling cichlids from Lake Malawi
EvoDevo, 2019 Background Melanic patterns such as horizontal stripes, vertical bars and spots are common among teleost fishes and often serve roles in camouflage or mimicry. Extensive research in the zebrafish model has shown that the development of horizontal stripes

Jurnal Ilmiah Perikanan dan Kelautan, 2023 The decreased color intensity of Nemo is related to the amount of carotenoid concentration in the xanthophore of Nemo's skin. Therefore, efforts are needed to maintain stable carotenoid production. Tomato is one of the most abundant carotenoid producers.

Nature Communications, 2016 Melanophores, iridophores and xanthophores are pigment-cell types that interact to form the stripes in zebrafish. Here, the authors study the interaction between cells of the same kind and show that each pigment-cell type covers the skin by contact based

The Evolution of Giant Clam Science: From Foundational Studies to Emerging Frontiers
Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.This review synthesizes nearly two centuries of giant clam research, identifying dominant themes, knowledge gaps, and emerging opportunities. Ecology, physiology, aquaculture, genomics, and biomineralization dominate the field, whereas anatomy and biotechnology remain underexplored. Future progress requires stronger integration of genomics, physiology,

High Contrast Markings Can Negate the Benefits of Transparent Camouflage
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Transparency is perhaps theoretically the most efficient means of achieving camouflage; however, in application, species show considerable variance in their degree of transparency. We demonstrate the fragility of transparent camouflage, detailing how imperfections reduce efficacy with implications in predation risk. ABSTRACT Transparency is, in theory,

Post‐Oviposition Embryonic Staging Scheme for the Delicate Skink, Lampropholis delicata
Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 4, April 2026.We detail the morphology of post‐oviposition embryos throughout development and compare it with reptilian embryonic staging schemes from other squamates. We identified 16 embryo stages based on the development of limbs, eyes, brain, branchial arches, frontonasal prominence, otic vesicle, scales, and pigmentation.

Stress‐induced changes in color expression mediated by iridophores in a polymorphic lizard [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2017 AbstractStress is an important potential factor mediating a broad range of cellular pathways, including those involved in condition‐dependent (i.e., honest) color signal expression. However, the cellular mechanisms underlying the relationship between stress and color expression are largely unknown.
