On the Melanization of the Rat's Eye

Pigment Cell Research, 1996
Electron‐microscopic study of the size of the melanosomes, the mean percentage of melanosomal profile area (MPMA) of the cells, and the duration of melanogenesis in the pigmented layers of the rat's eye (inbred strain BDE/Han) revealed the following: 1) The melanosomes in the cells of the retina vary in size and shape in different locations of the eye.

Development time integrates temperature and host plant cues for eyespot size in three tropical satyrine butterflies.

Journal of insect physiology
Many tropical butterflies have distinct wet and dry season adult morphs differing in the size of wing eyespots. Eyespot size is influenced by the environment experienced by developing larvae, and this plasticity is adaptive because the morphs have higher

Contrasting mechanisms for using humidity as cue for seasonal polyphenism in two tropical butterflies.

Proceedings. Biological sciences
Many tropical butterflies exhibit seasonal wing pattern plasticity, producing cryptic dry-season morphs with small or no ventral eyespots and conspicuous wet-season morphs with large wing-marginal eyespots that deflect predator attacks away from vital ...

Melanism in the Lepidoptera

1998
Abstract The prominence given in biological texts to industrial melanism, and the case of the peppered moth in particular, has tended to eclipse the fact that the majority of British Lepidoptera that now have melanic forms, already had melanic forms prior to the industrial revolution. This must include dark forms which are distributed in
