Fish coloration, evolved from selection and adaptation, is a prominent feature of remarkable
aquaculture merits. Fish possess more pigment cell types than any other vertebrates and are …

Vertebrate pigment patterns are diverse and fascinating adult traits that allow animals to
recognize conspecifics, attract mates, and avoid predators. Pigment patterns in fish are …

Birds are the most species-rich class of tetrapod vertebrates and have wide relevance
across many research fields. We explored bird macroevolution using full genomes from 48 …

We report a genome-wide association scan in> 6,000 Latin Americans for pigmentation of
skin and eyes. We found eighteen signals of association at twelve genomic regions. These …

Parallel phenotypic diversification in closely related species is a rigorous framework for
testing the role of natural selection in evolution. Do parallel phenotypes always diversify by …

Coloration is one of the most conspicuous traits that varies among organisms. Carotenoid
pigments are responsible for many of the red, orange, and yellow colors in the natural world …

Animals that occupy temperate and polar regions have specialized traits that help them
survive in harsh, highly seasonal environments. One particularly important adaptation is …

During the last decade, coat colouration in mammals has been investigated in numerous
studies. Most of these studies addressing the genetics of coat colouration were on …

Colour polymorphisms (CP's) continue to be of interest to evolutionary biologists because of
their general tractability, importance in studies of selection and potential role in speciation …

Convergence—the independent evolution of the same trait by two or more taxa—has long
been of interest to evolutionary biologists, but only recently has the molecular basis of …
