An overlooked pink species of land iguana in the Galápagos [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009
Despite the attention given to them, the Galápagos have not yet finished offering evolutionary novelties. When Darwin visited the Galápagos, he observed both marine ( Amblyrhynchus ) and land ( Conolophus ) iguanas but did not encounter a rare pink black-striped land iguana (herein referred ...

When pink is a question: Comparative gross and microscopic skin structure analyses reveal the histological basis of skin colour in Galápagos pink land iguanas (Conolophus marthae)

Acta Zoologica, 2023
AbstractOne of the rarest and most unusual iguanas on the planet is the Galápagos pink land iguana (Conolophus marthae). There have been a number of hypotheses on the source of their pink coloration, including that the colour is from blood and a relative lack of dermal pigmentation. We obtained full thickness skin biopsies of three species and compared
