摘要: Abstract:  Diurnal lizards are useful model organisms for the study of color polymorphisms. The cellular basis nonavian reptilian coloration and dermal chromatophores, as well different pigments contained therein, is relatively understood. Nonetheless, specific predictions cannot be made biochemical chromatophore constituents individual species a priori. Despite well-documented associations between throat behavioral, physiological, life history traits, in polymorphic Common Side-Blotched Lizards, Uta stansburiana, has never been studied. We used combination chromatographic techniques conjunction with transmission electron microscopy thin-layer reflectance to determine U. stansburiana. found that morphs express through varying spatial arrangements dietary xanthophylls (lutein zeaxanthin), differential synthesis drosopterin...
