Environmental correlates of spatio‐temporal patterns of colour variation in a bird of prey: The common buzzard (Buteo buteo)

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
High colour variability in animals has been associated with adaptability to environmental change. Establishing how such variability is distributed in time and space, and identifying environmental correlates, can help understand the processes driving it.

Margay also hide their spots: first records of melanistic Leopardus wiedii from Colombia and Costa Rica

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2018
Melanism has been commonly recorded in tropical felids, especially within the genus Leopardus. However, so far there are no reports of the existence of melanism in Leopardus wiedii. Herein, we present the first report of melanistic individuals of margays,

The Biology of Polymorphic Melanic Side-Spotting Patterns in Poeciliid Fishes

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Melanin-based color patterns are an emerging model for studying molecular and evolutionary mechanisms driving phenotypic correlations. Extensive literature exists on color patterns and their correlated traits in the family Poeciliidae, indicating that ...

Erythristic leopards Panthera pardus in South Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background. Leopards Panthera pardus show genetically determined colour variation. Erythristic (strawberry) morphs, where individuals are paler and black pigment in the coat is replaced by a red-brown colour, are exceptionally rare in the wild ...

Intraoperative Nail Matrix Assessment in Longitudinal Melanonychia

open access: yesInternational Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Longitudinal melanonychia (LM) may represent subungual melanoma (SUM), yet clinical differentiation from benign LM remains challenging. Intraoperative dermoscopy (IOD) improves diagnostic accuracy but requires specialized equipment and time.

Global consensus on the management of melanin hyperpigmentation disorders

open access: yesJournal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
A global Delphi consensus of 10 dermatology experts established evidence‐based recommendations for melanin hyperpigmentation disorders, providing unified classification, photoprotection guidance and treatment algorithms. This framework harmonizes terminology and supports individualized management across diverse skin types and health systems.

An evolutionary approach to Function

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Understanding the distinction between function and role is vexing and difficult. While it appears to be useful, in practice this distinction is hard to apply, particularly within biology.

Diversifying selection and color-biased dispersal in the asp viper. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BACKGROUND: The presence of intraspecific color polymorphism can have multiple impacts on the ecology of a species; as a consequence, particular color morphs may be strongly selected for in a given habitat type.
