A new study published in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society describes, for the first time in detail, the soft tissues ...

After reconstructing the colour patterns of a well-preserved dinosaur from China, researchers from the University of Bristol have found that the long-lost species Psittacosaurus (meaning "parrot ...

Scientists have discovered that female guppies choose males with uncommon color patterns to drive the evolution of their ...

Visual signals, such as color patterns are an important communication medium for anemonefish. Researchers from Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology have recently elucidated how the patterns on ...

Insect fossils reveal preserved color patterns of long-dead species ...

A team of researchers has provided the first example of how color patterns on a coral reef fish species can drive its evolution into many distinct species. The researchers looked at feeding and mating ...

Colour change in animals can be adaptive phenotypic plasticity in heterogeneous environments. Camouflage through background colour matching has been considered a primary force that drives the ...

Color change in animals is a response shaped by evolution. Each species has developed its own method and reason for this ...

The colors and patterns of black swallowtails reveal the diversity of evolutionary dynamics acting on the sexes and the various life-history stages Six species of swallowtail butterflies occur locally ...

Scientists have solved the mystery of why some closely-related species of an iconic reef fish have vastly different colour patterns, while others look very similar. Scientists have solved the mystery ...

Vertebrate and invertebrate colour pattern determination mechanisms are considered distinct; recently, however, both fish and butterfly colour patterns have been partly explained by reaction-diffusion ...
