Pigment pattern morphospace of Danio fishes: evolutionary diversification and mutational effects [PDF]

open access: yesBiology 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]

open access: yeseLife, 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.

Evolution of danio pigment pattern development [PDF]

open access: yesHeredity, 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.

Long-distance communication by specialized cellular projections during pigment pattern development and evolution [PDF]

open access: yeseLife, 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

Peculiar pigment pattern and population profile of a poisonous pufferfish [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ
Pufferfish 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 ...

Method for disarranging the pigment pattern of zebrafish by optogenetics

open access: yesDevelopmental 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).

Role of Dermoscopy in Distinguishing Tinea Nigra from Acral Nevus [PDF]

open access: yesSurgical & Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022
Dermoscopy is a practical, non-invasive tool that can be used to distinguish tinea nigra from other lesions that appear macroscopically similar, including acral nevus.

The proteins involved in larval colouration in the cuticle and haemolymph of two strains of Antheraea pernyi (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2023
The proteome profiles of the cuticle and haemolymph of two strains of the Chinese Oak silk moth A. pernyi, with cyan and yellow coloured bodies, were compared in order to identify the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) that determine the ...

Correspondences Between Parameters in a Reaction-Diffusion Model and Connexin Functions During Zebrafish Stripe Formation

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Transcriptome analysis provides insights into the mechanism of carapace stripe formation in two closely related Marsupenaeus species

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Marsupenaeus japonicus has two types of phenotypic differences that are mainly reflected in the stripe pattern of the carapace. However, the underlying mechanism regulating the stripe patterns is not clear.
