Summary
This paper discusses the role of melanophores and melanosomes in color change and adaptation in animals, with a focus on amphibians and fish, and explores the effects of external stimuli on melanosome transport.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the role of melanophores and melanosomes in photoreception in animals, which is relevant to eye health.
Education and learning: The paper provides educational information about the biological processes involved in color change and adaptation in animals.
Well-being: The paper discusses the potential effects of external stimuli, such as light and toxins, on the well-being of animals through their impact on melanosome transport.
