Abstract excerpt

Animal coloration, a key morphological trait for communication, offers a powerful model for studying the evolution of discrete phenotypes. Reptiles display a striking diversity in skin coloration, yet the mechanisms underlying these traits remain poorly characterised. Here we investigated the genetic and molecular basis of red pigmentation in the endangered Chinese crocodile lizard (Shinisaurus crocodilurus). We...
