Structural colour in Lepidoptera
The ‘bearcam’ is turned on from 5 am until 11pm and during the afternoon a member of staff at the nearby Pratt Museum in Homer controls the solar-powered camera to get the best views. The idea came from park managers wanting to let more people enjoy the spectacle. Only 250 people a year are allowed into the sanctuary to view the bears and these are selected by lottery leading to disappointment ...
متن کاملStructural Characterization of Bacterioferritin from Blastochloris viridis
Iron storage and elimination of toxic ferrous iron are the responsibility of bacterioferritins in bacterial species. Bacterioferritins are capable of oxidizing iron using molecular oxygen and import iron ions into the large central cavity of the protein, where they are stored in a mineralized form. We isolated, crystallized bacterioferritin from the microaerophilic/anaerobic, purple non-sulfur ...
متن کاملStructural colour in Chondrus crispus
The marine world is incredibly rich in brilliant and intense colours. Photonic structures are found in many different species and provide extremely complex optical responses that cannot be achieved solely by pigments. In this study we examine the cuticular structure of the red alga Chondrus crispus (Irish Moss) using anatomical and optical approaches. We experimentally measure the optical respo...
متن کاملUltraviolet nuptial colour determines fight success in male European green lizards (Lacerta viridis).
Animal communication through colour signals is a central theme in sexual selection. Structural colours can be just as costly and honest signals as pigment-based colours. Ultraviolet (UV) is a structural colour that can be important both in intrasexual competition and mate choice. However, it is still unknown if a UV signal alone can determine the outcome of male-male fights. European green liza...
متن کاملSpatially modulated structural colour in bird feathers
Eurasian Jay (Garrulus glandarius) feathers display periodic variations in the reflected colour from white through light blue, dark blue and black. We find the structures responsible for the colour are continuous in their size and spatially controlled by the degree of spinodal phase separation in the corresponding region of the feather barb. Blue structures have a well-defined broadband ultra-v...
