DOI: 10.1016/j.jinsphys.2019.01.004
Abstract: The desert locust shows conspicuous phase polyphenism of various traits in response to crowding conditions. Gregarious females lay larger eggs that produce black hatchlings, whereas solitarious females lay smaller eggs that produce green hatchlings. Previous… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ygcen.2021.113860
Abstract: Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), a peptide derived from proopiomelanocortin (POMC), and melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH), act as neuromodulators and regulate food intake in vertebrates. In teleosts, these peptides are also involved competitively in body color regulation; α-MSH… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-09209-6
Abstract: Coleoid cephalopods camouflage on timescales of seconds to match their visual surroundings. To date, studies of cephalopod camouflage-to-substrate have been focused primarily on benthic cuttlefish and octopus, because they are readily found sitting on the… read more here.
