💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐔🎨 A single MC1R gene acts as a molecular dimmer for feather color, and researchers found 18 variants that combine to create #chickens’ #rainbow of #plumage.
By reading the #genomes of over 10,000 #birds, they traced how these mutations accumulated since #domestication.

Happy #TushTuesday.
#Peacock tush 🦚
The males are so dramatic. They're super loud. Every year, they sing loudly for mates. Peacocks are polygamous & have multiple mates.It's Spring & the peacocks are singing their mating songs, shaking their tushes, doing their full feathers out fan dances - to attract some peahens to nest with. It's fight season for competing peacocks too.
Peafowl (the blue ones) are native to India. They have huge cultural significance there. The peafowl is India's national bird.

Im #Garten:
Die #Elster,
in ihrem schmucken #Federkleid akribisch
jedes #Blatt wendend...Sie erinnert mich an einen altehrwürdigen
Herren, der im #Frack gemessenen Schrittes,
die Hände auf dem Rücken verschränkt,
durch den Ballsaal oder die Ausstellung
geht und aufmerksam alles betrachtet.Video, 1/2

Le grand corbeau présente un plumage irisé aux reflets bleus. Pour rendre cela en aquarelle, j’ai choisi d’appliquer un fond bleu avant toute chose, puis un noir bleuté plein de nuances… 🖌️💙
Cet oiseau mythique est très présent dans le Grand Nord.
Il a d’ailleurs inspiré de nombreuses légendes inuit. Loin d’être un symbole de malheur, il est pour les peuples du Nord le porteur de la lumière qui revient après la longue nuit hivernale. ✨🌌#aquarelle #oiseaux #corbeau #ornithologie #illustration #faune #artscience #oiseauxdelarctique #artnaturaliste #plumage #irisation #dessin

New research finds #fluorescence in feathers of Long-eared Owls
https://phys.org/news/2025-04-fluorescence-feathers-eared-owls.htmlFluorescent pigment concentration correlated with age, sex, and size in #LongEaredOwl (Asio otus) plumage https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15594491.2024.2444031
"female Long-eared #Owls have a much higher concentration of these pigments in their feathers, challenging a common misconception that colorful #plumage is a male trait... We are only beginning to describe fluorescent pigments in #birds and other vertebrates"

Genome Sequencing Shows Kākāpō Evolved Two Plumage Colors To Evade Predators
"Genomic sequencing of almost all living kākāpō reveals they evolved two different plumage colors to avoid the sharp eyes of their avian predators."

#Parrot #plumage study aids breeders and endangered natural populations https://genestogenomes.org/parrot-plumage-study-aids-breeders-and-endangered-natural-populations/
Mutations in SLC45A2 lead to loss of #melanin in parrot #feathers https://academic.oup.com/g3journal/article/14/2/jkad254/7379049
"Blue and yellow #pigmentation combine to create the green hue—which blends well with the tree #canopy—most commonly seen in wild parrots. In contrast, yellow alone is a popular color for captive-bred #birds. New study investigates the molecular basis of yellow color variations in three species of #parrots."

Carlson & Stoddard introduce a 3D pattern morphospace built from biologically relevant pattern features to describe the evolution of plumage patterns in melanerpine woodpeckers. This framework can be applied to other animal taxa as well.
