Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 7, July 2026.This study provides the first description of the early development of Hoplias intermedius (Characiformes: Erythrinidae), from the embryonic to the juvenile stage. The morphological, meristic, and morphometric characterization contributes to understanding the ontogeny and developmental transitions of Neotropical fishes, supporting taxonomy, conservation,

Shifty Frogs: Evidence of Iridescence Among Amphibians
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Iridescence is a striking optical phenomenon observed in some animals whereby colour or reflectivity changes based on viewing angle, such that two observers in different locations may simultaneously perceive the same tissue differently. Among amphibians, there is limited photographic evidence of tissues displaying colour shifts that define ...

Visual input regulates melanophore differentiation
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyIntroductionDevelopmental processes continue in organisms in which sensory systems have reached functional maturity, however, little research has focused on the influence of sensory input on cell and tissue development. Here, we explored the influence of

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 109, Issue 1, Page 146-164, July 2026.Abstract Among the few species of Microcambeva reported as occurring in more than one hydrographic basin, M. ribeirae has been previously listed from both the Ribeira de Iguape and the Guaraqueçaba basins. However, morphological and molecular analyses revealed that the specimens from Guaraqueçaba represent a new species, which is described in this ...

Circadian rhythm of pigment migration induced by chromatrophorotropins in melanophores of the crab chasmagnathus granulata [PDF]
, 2004 The circadian rhythm of black pigment migration of melanophores of the crab Chasmagnathus granulata and the variation in responsiveness of these cells to pigment-dispersing hormone (h-PDH), crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP), and red ...
