Rapid and reversible humidity-dependent colour change by water film formation in a scaled springtail
Vanthournout B, Janssens F, Debruyn G, Mertens J, De Clerck K, DAlba L, et al.
J R Soc Interface
. 2023 Oct;
20(207):20230228.
PMID: 37788712
Colour is often not a static trait but can change over time either through biotic or abiotic factors. Humidity-dependent colour change can occur through either morphological change (e.g. to feather...

PMID: 37699412
Hollow melanosomes found in iridescent bird feathers, including violet-backed starlings and wild turkeys, enable the generation of diverse structural colors. It has been postulated that the high refractive index (RI)...

PMID: 35611618
While the specific mechanisms of colour production in biological systems are diverse, the mechanics of colour production are straightforward and universal. Colour is produced through the selective absorption of light...
