Convergent mutations underpin the repeated evolution of brown plumage in seabirds

Ibis, EarlyView.
Recent genetic data have provided crucial insights into the evolution of animal colour phenotypes, with the melanocortin‐1 receptor (MC1R) frequently implicated in dramatic colour shifts. However, the extent to which similar phenotypes are underpinned by convergent mutations at this locus remains unclear.

Environmental and lifestyle determinants of skin ageing: Association between skin dryness and dyspigmentation in Chinese women

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
The study of photoageing visible features in an Asian female cohort from rural and urban locations and across seasons evidenced a consistent correlation between skin dyspigmentation and dryness, suggesting mechanistic interplay, and emphasizing that these key concerns of ageing skin could be addressed more efficiently taken together.

Nature and timing of dysregulation associated with pseudoalbinism in California Halibut, Paralichthys californicus

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Pseudoalbinism in flatfishes, the absence of melanophores or melanin over most of the ocular side of the body, is often observed in hatcheries. The prevalence of pseudoalbinism can be very high, sometimes exceeding 90% of individuals in California Halibut, Paralichthys californicus.
