Colour Confusion: Reviewing Ambiguities in the Identification and Classification of Chromatophore Deficiencies Among Amphibians [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The colour of amphibian skin and eyes (retina and iris) is the result of light interacting with cells called chromatophores, primarily xanthophores, iridophores and melanophores, that can be found in various combinations.

Larval Pigmentation Reveals Environmental and Genetic Influences in Hybridizing Ambystoma Salamanders [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Closely related species may produce hybrids, and these hybrids often display intermediate traits that can influence fitness and reproductive isolation. In this study, we examine Ambystoma barbouri and Ambystoma texanum, two sister salamander species that

Xanthophore Distribution of Nemo (Amphiprion ocellaris) Skin Based on various Concentrations of Carotenoid Sources

Jurnal Ilmiah Perikanan dan Kelautan, 2023
The decreased color intensity of  Nemo is related to the amount of carotenoid concentration in the xanthophore of Nemo's skin. Therefore, efforts are needed to maintain stable carotenoid production. Tomato is one of the most abundant carotenoid producers.

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

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 ...

Distinct interactions of Sox5 and Sox10 in fate specification of pigment cells in medaka and zebrafish. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2018
Mechanisms generating diverse cell types from multipotent progenitors are fundamental for normal development. Pigment cells are derived from multipotent neural crest cells and their diversity in teleosts provides an excellent model for studying ...

Single-cell RNA analysis identifies pre-migratory neural crest cells expressing markers of differentiated derivatives

eLife, 2021
The neural crest is a migratory population of stem-like cells that contribute to multiple traits including the bones of the skull, peripheral nervous system, and pigment.

Sox5 functions as a fate switch in medaka pigment cell development.

PLoS Genetics, 2014
Mechanisms generating diverse cell types from multipotent progenitors are crucial for normal development. Neural crest cells (NCCs) are multipotent stem cells that give rise to numerous cell-types, including pigment cells.

Global tissue transcriptomic analysis to improve genome annotation and unravel skin pigmentation in goldfish

Scientific Reports, 2021
Goldfish is an ornamental fish with diverse phenotypes. However, the limited genomic resources of goldfish hamper our understanding of the genetic basis for its phenotypic diversity.
