Xanthophore Distribution of Nemo (Amphiprion ocellaris) Skin Based on various Concentrations of Carotenoid Sources [PDF]
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.

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

Frogs have layers: a comparative histological study of colour polymorphism in Oophaga poison frogs [PDF]
PeerJBackground Colour polymorphism in aposematic species is often associated with ecological divergence and predator selection. In amphibians, colouration is achieved through the chromatophore unit, a layered structure of pigment-containing cells ...

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 ...

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.

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

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 ...
