Many butterflies develop wing patterns that mimic other species to protect themselves from predators. While growing complex body parts like wings involves many genes, the difference between two ...
In our newly published research in Science Advances, my student Ben Alessio and I propose a potential mechanism explaining how these distinctive patterns form—that could potentially be applied to ...
The genetic underpinnings of pigmentation and colour patterning in fish encompass a complex interplay of gene regulation, cell fate determination and evolutionary innovation. Neural crest cells, which ...
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 ...
Many ladybirds have attractive color patterns consisting of black and red. A research team focused on the multicolored Asian ladybird beetle Harmonia axyridis (also known as the harlequin ladybird), ...
Ankur Gupta receives funding from NSF (CBET - 2238412) and ACS Petroleum Research Fund (65836 - DNI9). A thought experiment can help visualize the challenge of achieving distinctive color patterns.
It was long predicted that the source of domestic cats’ distinctive pumpkin-orange fur coloring was genetic and was produced by a gene on the sex-determining X-chromosome because 80% of orange cats ...
Jiff the collie represents “shaded yellow,” one of five coat color patterns in domestic dogs identified by Danika Bannasch at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and collaborators in the U.S.
Six species of swallowtail butterflies occur locally, and they combine yellow, black, orange, blue and red in several diverse patterns that invariably catch the eye. We can marvel at them, but our ...
