Pigment pattern morphospace of Danio fishes: evolutionary diversification and mutational effects [PDF]
Biology Open, 2021 Molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying variation in adult form remain largely unknown. Adult pigment patterns of fishes in the genus Danio, which includes zebrafish, Danio rerio, consist of horizontal stripes, vertical bars, spots and uniform ...

A quantitative modelling approach to zebrafish pigment pattern formation [PDF]
eLife, 2020 Pattern formation is a key aspect of development. Adult zebrafish exhibit a striking striped pattern generated through the self-organisation of three different chromatophores.

Long-distance communication by specialized cellular projections during pigment pattern development and evolution [PDF]
eLife, 2015 Changes in gene activity are essential for evolutionary diversification. Yet, elucidating the cellular behaviors that underlie modifications to adult form remains a profound challenge. We use neural crest-derived adult pigmentation of zebrafish and pearl

Evolution of danio pigment pattern development [PDF]
Heredity, 2006 Pigment patterns of danio fishes are emerging as a useful system for studying the evolution of developmental mechanisms underlying adult form. Different closely related species within the genera Danio and Devario exhibit a range of pigment patterns including horizontal stripes, vertical bars, and others.

Peculiar pigment pattern and population profile of a poisonous pufferfish [PDF]
PeerJPufferfish are well-known for their toxicity, yet they also exhibit a remarkable diversity of pigment patterns. Mushifugu (Takifugu exascurus) is a pufferfish endemic to Japan’s coastal waters and is characterized by conspicuous labyrinthine patterns ...

Retinal pigment epithelial disruption after retinal detachment repair using perfluorocarbon liquid and gas tamponade: a case series [PDF]
American Journal of Ophthalmology Case ReportsPurpose: To describe two cases of central visual disturbances following uncomplicated pars plana vitrectomy for macula-on retinal detachment. Observations: Both patients exhibited a distinctive angled pattern of focal disruptions of the retinal pigment ...

Method for disarranging the pigment pattern of zebrafish by optogenetics
Developmental Biology, 2020 To investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of skin pattern formation, we developed a simple method for artificially disarranging the placement of all three pigment cell types in the body trunk of zebrafish (Danio rerio). We generated transgenic fish with melanophores that ectopically expressed a variant of channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2).

Cell-cell communication as underlying principle governing color pattern formation in teleost fishes [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe diverse pigmentation patterns of animals are crucial for predation avoidance and behavioral display. This diversity arises from interactions among distinct pigment cell types, yet mechanisms generating pattern variation across teleost fishes remain ...

Frontiers in Physics, 2022 Different diffusivities among interacting substances actualize the potential instability of a system. When these elicited instabilities manifest as forms of spatial periodicity, they are called Turing patterns.
