Color patterns as a model for connecting developmental mechanisms to phenotypic evolution.

Nature communications - 17 Sept 2026

Weller Hannah I, Kratochwil Claudius F, Staps Merlijn

Abstract excerpt

Vertebrate color patterns are experimentally accessible and ecologically relevant traits, making them excellent models for studying how diversity arises during development and evolution. Advances in developmental biology, pattern quantification, and broad phylogenetic sampling now offer an opportunity to investigate how pattern development and evolution influence each other. To facilitate this crosstalk, we...
