Background The thermal benefits of melanism in ectothermic animals are widely recognized, but relatively little is known about population differentiation in the degree of melanism along thermal gradients, and the relative contributions of genetic vs ...

Clinical periodontal diagnosis
Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...

Melanization and Tyrosinase Activity
Purified soluble tyrosinase isolated from the melanosomes of Harding-Passey mouse melanoma was incubated with L-dopa. The reaction velocity of the tyrosinase thus incubated decreased significantly. There was an inverse linear relationship between the concentration of dopa in the preincubation mixture and the reaction velocity of the tyrosinase which ...

First evidence of hybridization between golden jackal (Canis aureus) and domestic dog (Canis familiaris) as revealed by genetic markers [PDF]
Interspecific hybridization is relatively frequent in nature and numerous cases of hybridization between wild canids and domestic dogs have been recorded.

Polymorphism of fur coloration intensity in mammals [PDF]
The concept of coloration polymorphism and melanism in mammals was reviewed. It was shown that polymorphism has different types and mammals color differentiation is only one of its kinds.

Melanism in free living vertebrates
Melanism is an over-development of melanin in the skin and its cover that is described in a large number of species in vertebrates. Increasing number of studies observing melanistic traits in animal species tends to reveal genetical, physiological and ...

core
The presence of a dark-coloured body colouration polymorphism (melanism) is a pervasive phenomenon in the animal kingdom, particularly in reptiles. We provide the first reporting of melanic individuals in a subspecies of common lizards, Zootoca vivipara ...

A novel locus on chromosome 1 underlies the evolution of a melanic plumage polymorphism in a wild songbird [PDF]
Understanding the mechanisms responsible for phenotypic diversification within and among species ultimately rests with linking naturally occurring mutations to functionally and ecologically significant traits.
