Evolution of pigment cells and patterns: recent insights from teleost fishes.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Aug 2021

Parichy David M

Abstract excerpt

Skin pigment patterns of vertebrates are stunningly diverse, and nowhere more so than in teleost fishes. Several species, including relatives of zebrafish, recently evolved cichlid fishes of East Africa, clownfishes, deep sea fishes, and others are providing insights into pigment pattern evolution. This overview describes recent advances in understanding periodic patterns, like stripes and spots, the loss of...
