Bar, stripe and spot development in sand-dwelling cichlids from Lake Malawi

open access: yesEvoDevo, 2019
Background Melanic patterns such as horizontal stripes, vertical bars and spots are common among teleost fishes and often serve roles in camouflage or mimicry. Extensive research in the zebrafish model has shown that the development of horizontal stripes

Genetic basis of orange spot formation in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata)

open access: yesBMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background To understand the evolutionary significance of female mate choice for colorful male ornamentation, the underlying regulatory mechanisms of such ornamentation must be understood for examining how the ornaments are associated with “male ...

Lipid droplet biology and evolution illuminated by the characterization of a novel perilipin in teleost fish

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Perilipin (PLIN) proteins constitute an ancient family important in lipid droplet (LD) formation and triglyceride metabolism. We identified an additional PLIN clade (plin6) that is unique to teleosts and can be traced to the two whole genome duplications

The role of xanthophores in the stripe pattern formation of Zebrafish, Danio rerio

open access: yes, 2017
Animals have evolved a fascinating diversity in their color patterns, which serves as an essential component of their survival strategies. Color pattern formation in zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a great model system to study general pattern formation ...

Evolution of Endothelin signaling and diversification of adult pigment pattern in Danio fishes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2018
Fishes of the genus Danio exhibit diverse pigment patterns that serve as useful models for understanding the genes and cell behaviors underlying the evolution of adult form. Among these species, zebrafish D.

Xanthophores are qualitatively reduced in number and size in enz mutants.

open access: yes, 2013
(A, B) fms expression in 48 hpf wild-type (A) and enz mutant (B) embryos. Qualitatively reduced fms expression suggests that fewer xanthophores are present in enz mutants than in wild-type siblings at this stage (arrowheads in A and B).

Gap junctions composed of connexins 41.8 and 39.4 are essential for colour pattern formation in zebrafish

open access: yeseLife, 2014
Interactions between all three pigment cell types are required to form the stripe pattern of adult zebrafish (Danio rerio), but their molecular nature is poorly understood.

<i>col1a2<sup>+</sup></i> fibroblasts/muscle progenitors finetune xanthophore countershading by differentially expressing <i>csf1a/1b</i> in embryonic zebrafish. [PDF]

open access: yesSci Adv
Animals evolve diverse pigment patterns to adapt to the natural environment. Countershading, characterized by a dark-colored dorsum and a light-colored ventrum, is one of the most prevalent pigment patterns observed in vertebrates.

Interstripe xanthophores developed after iridophores in wild-type larvae and were further delayed in bnc2 mutants.

open access: yes, 2013
Shown are a representative wild-type (bnc2/+) larva (A) and a sibling bnc2 mutant (B) imaged repeatedly over 27 d beginning at 6.0 SSL, just prior to the appearance of iridophores at the anteroposterior region imaged, dorsal to the anus. In both the wild-
