Ecological Drivers of Eastern Fox Squirrel Pelage Polymorphism
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The color patterns of an animal’s pelage, feather, or skin serve a variety of adaptive functions; importantly, one function is concealment through background matching.

Variação intraespecífica da cor da pelagem de uma espécie de pequeno roedor sul-americano [PDF]
Brazilian journal of biology = Revista brasleira de biologia, 2016 Intra-specific color variation is often underestimated by researchers, and among mammalian species, intra-specific differences in coloration are poorly documented for most species.

Evolution of Pelage Luminance in Squirrels (Sciuridae)
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Pelage luminance has been found in many mammalian systems to follow patterns predicted by Gloger’s rule where darker colored animals are associated with environments that are warmer and more moist.

Roosting ecology and the evolution of pelage markings in bats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Multiple lineages of bats have evolved striking facial and body pelage makings, including spots, stripes and countershading. Although researchers have hypothesized that these markings mainly evolved for crypsis, this idea has never been tested in a ...

Seasonal pelage color change of two sympatric arboreal squirrel species in the subarctic region
The European Zoological Journal, 2019 Some mammal species exhibit pelage color change with seasonal molt. Seasonal molt and pelage color change are beneficial to thermoregulation and concealment, associated with seasonal environmental change.

Relatively recent evolution of pelage coloration in Colobinae: phylogeny and phylogeography of three closely related langur species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 To understand the evolutionary processes leading to the diversity of Asian colobines, we report here on a phylogenetic, phylogeographical and population genetic analysis of three closely related langurs, Trachypithecus francoisi, T.

PLoS ONE, 2013 BackgroundConcealing coloration in rodents is well established. However, only a few studies examined how soil color, pelage color, hair-melanin content, and genetics (i.e., the causal chain) synergize to configure it.

Retrotransposon-Mediated Fgf5go-Utr Mutant Mice with Long Pelage Hair [PDF]
Experimental animals, 2011 We found 6 spontaneous mutant mice with long pelage hair in our ICR breeding colony. The abnormal trait was restricted to long hair in these mice, which we named moja. They were fertile and showed the same growth and behavior as wild-type mice.

NORPPA: NOvel Ringed Seal Re-Identification by Pelage Pattern Aggregation [PDF]
2024 IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision Workshops (WACVW), 2022 We propose a method for Saimaa ringed seal (Pusa hispida saimensis) re-identification. Access to large image volumes through camera trapping and crowdsourcing provides novel possibilities for animal conservation and monitoring and calls for automatic ...
