Melanin: the emergence of a multifunctional pigment across organismal evolution

Melanin is one of the most widespread and multifunctional biological pigments, yet many fundamental questions about its origins, structure, and functions remain unresolved. This symposium will bring...

NUS study: A simple DNA switch helps tropical butterflies change wing patterns with the seasons

Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered a simple DNA “switch” that helps tropical butterflies adjust the size of their wing eyespots in response to seasonal...

Here is a very detailed examination on how pigmentation in the cuticle of a butterfly wing scale changes the density and refractive index of chitin and, thus, also alters structural color. rdcu.be/eyUwS

For those interested in the evolution of phenotypic plasticity - Shen Tian et al. found that a novel bit of DNA - a Hox gene promoter in the genome of satyrid butterflies - boosts plasticity in the size of their eyespots in response to temperature. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

A novel Hox gene promoter fuels the evolution of adaptive phenotypic plasticity

Adaptive phenotypic plasticity allows organisms to display distinct phenotypes in response to variable environments, but little is known about the genomic changes that promote the evolution of...
