Geographic patterns of genetic differentiation and plumage colour variation are different in the pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca).

29 Sep 2009 The pied flycatcher is one of the most phenotypically variable bird species in Europe. The geographic variation in phenotypes has often been attributed to spatial variation in selection regimes that is associated with the presence or absence of the ... Read more...

CpcF-dependent regulation of pigmentation and development in Fremyella diplosiphon.

9 Sep 2009 Cyanobacteria harvest light for photosynthesis using photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes called phycobilisomes (PBSs). Lyases are enzymes responsible for covalent attachment of light-absorbing chromophores to the phycobiliproteins (PBPs) ... Read more...

Adaptive shell color plasticity during the early ontogeny of an intertidal keystone snail.

31 Aug 2009 We report a mechanism of crypsis present during the vulnerable early post-metamorphic ontogeny (Read more...
