Embryonic xanthophore fate in the zebrafish, Danio rerio
Thesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2014Pigment patterns are one of the most diverse and visually appealing traits of any animal, playing important behavioral and ecological roles in mate choice, shoaling and predator avoidance. In the zebrafish,

Pigment cell distribution in a rapid colour changing amphibian (Litoria wilcoxii)
Rapid skin colour changes in amphibians and other colour changing animals are possible due to different distributions of pigment cells (chromatophores) and the movement of pigment within them. Amphibians possess three types of chromatophore: xanthophores,
