Abstract: Colour variation is frequently observed in spiders. Such variation can impact fitness by affecting the way spiders are perceived by relevant observers such as prey (i.e. by resembling flower signals as visual lures) and predators… read more here.

Beyond morphs: Inter‐individual colour variation despite strong genetic determinism of colour morphs in a wild bird

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.14124
Abstract: Categorizing individuals into discrete forms in colour polymorphic species can overlook more subtle patterns in coloration that can be of functional significance. Thus, quantifying inter‐individual variation in these species at both within‐ and between‐morph levels… read more here.

Abstract: Invasive plants displaying disparate pollination environments and abiotic conditions in native and non-native ranges provide ideal systems to test the role of different ecological factors driving flower colour variation. We quantified corolla reflectance of the… read more here.

Through the eye of a lizard: hue discrimination in a lizard with ventral polymorphic coloration

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.169565
Abstract: ABSTRACT Colour polymorphisms are thought to be maintained by complex evolutionary processes, some of which require that the colours of the alternative morphs function as chromatic signals to conspecifics. Unfortunately, a key aspect of this… read more here.
