Insect Science, EarlyView.Coloration serves several fitness‐related functions, including thermoregulation, immunity, social signaling, sexual selection, and predator avoidance. Consequently, color polymorphism can have a significant impact on a species’ interactions with its environment, including its relationships with predators, prey, and potential mates. The wood tiger moth (

Hair Degradation Patterns in Aquatic and Soil Environments
Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hair is a biological material that can provide information in archaeology and forensics. Previous studies have mainly examined changes occurring post‐mortem. In this study, we focused on hair pulled out ante‐mortem. The aim of the study was to identify patterns in the degradation of hair in water and soil.

Probing pheomelanin synthesis using thioflavin T fluorescence [PDF]
, 2019 The fluorescent rotor probe thioflavin T (ThT) is used to investigate the presence of sheet structures in pheomelanin by studying the formation and disassembly of pheomelanin synthesized from L-cysteine, L-DOPA and the enzyme tyrosinase.

Probing Near-Infrared Photorelaxation Pathways in Eumelanins and Pheomelanins [PDF]
The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2010 Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy readily discerns the two types of melanin pigments (eumelanin and pheomelanin), although fundamental details regarding the optical properties and pigment heterogeneity are more difficult to disentangle via analysis of the broad featureless absorption spectrum alone.

Setmelanotide in Bardet‐Biedl Syndrome: A Case Report
Pediatric Dermatology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Setmelanotide is a melanocortin‐4‐receptor agonist used for the treatment of hyperphagia in the genetic obesity syndrome Bardet‐Biedl. Presented is a case of diffuse hyperpigmentation in a patient treated with setmelanotide, which represents the most common side effect of this medication.

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.Patella luxation was prevalent in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels attending Australian veterinary practices. Dogs which were younger, neutered, above the breed standard weight, and with ruby‐coloured coats were at increased risk, while dogs with bilateral luxation were more likely to be diagnosed with higher grade luxation .

Melanogenesis: A Search for Pheomelanin and Also, What Is Lurking Behind Those Dark Colors?
, 2019 We investigated the synthesis of melanin-like materials from DOPA, dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine in the presence of L-cysteine. We observed that L-cysteine delayed the formation of pigment from these catecholamines and that the presence of L ...
