Genome-wide association studies of quantitatively measured skin, hair, and eye pigmentation in four European populations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Pigmentation of the skin, hair, and eyes varies both within and between human populations. Identifying the genes and alleles underlying this variation has been the goal of many candidate gene and several genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

Conflict between background matching and social signalling in a colour-changing freshwater fish [PDF]
, 2016 The ability to change coloration allows animals to modify their patterning to suit a specific function. Many freshwater fishes, for example, can appear cryptic by altering the dispersion of melanin pigment in the skin to match the visual background ...

Visible Light Induces Melanogenesis in Human Skin through a Photoadaptive Response. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Visible light (400-700 nm) lies outside of the spectral range of what photobiologists define as deleterious radiation and as a result few studies have studied the effects of visible light range of wavelengths on skin.
