Melanin chemistry and the ecology of stress.

Physiological and biochemical zoology : PBZ - 1 Jan 2000

Galván Ismael, Solano Francisco

Abstract excerpt

Knowledge of melanin chemistry has important implications for the study of the evolutionary ecology of animal pigmentation, but the actual chemical diversity of these widely expressed biological pigments has been largely overlooked. Considering all melanin forms and the different conditions of endogenous oxidative stress during their synthesis provides information about physiological costs and benefits of...
