Consists of mainly three parts, starts with introductory chapter, such as Pigments and Pigment Organelles, Developmental Genetics of Pigment Cell Formation, Adult Pigment Patterns, and Color Changes, this book introduces new pigment compounds in addition to classically known pigments and organelles, explains how the generation of multiple types of pigment cell is genetically controlled, describes the mechanisms underlying the zebrafish stripe formation as well as other animals and also summarizes the mechanism of physiological and morphological color changes of teleost, amphibian and cephalopod.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWritten by experts in the field, this book will be essential reading for graduate students and researchers in biological fields who are interested in pigmentation mechanisms of animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 1   Pigments and   pigment organelles        1   Pigments   in insects       2   Melanins   in vertebrates       3   Body   color expression in birds       4   Pigments   in teleosts and their biosynthesis       5   Bioluminescence   and Pigments       Part 2   Pigment   cell and patterned pigmentation       6   Development   of melanin-bearing pigment cells in birds and mammals       7   Pigment   cell development in teleosts       8   Pigment   patterning in teleosts       9   Theoretical   studies of pigment pattern formation       10   Evolution   of Pigment Pattern Formation in Teleosts       11   Mechanisms   of feather structural coloration and pattern formation in birds       12   Mechanism   of color pattern formation in insects        Part 3   Color   changes       13   Physiological   and Morphological Color Changes in Teleosts and in Reptiles       14   Color   change  in cephalopods        15   Physiological   and biochemical mechanisms of insect color change towards understanding   molecular links","brand":"Springer Verlag, Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53212829319511,"sku":"9789811614927","price":151.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/pigments-pigment-cells-and-pigment-patterns-9789811614927","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
