The MoDeIF project investigates how unique melanosome structures in bird feathers contribute to iridescent colors. By exploring the developmental genetics behind the formation of these structures, the project aims to enhance understanding of color variation and its evolutionary significance, potentially informing synth…
Iridescent structural colors produce some of the most vibrant colors in nature, particularly in birds – such as throats of many hummingbirds.
These colors are produced by interactions between light and organic structures, such that optical effects from the nanoscale arrangement of melanin-containing organelles called melanosomes within bird feather barbules produces color variation.
Uniquely to birds, these melanosomes can take four distinct forms: (i) rods (rod-shaped and solid); (ii) hollow ro…
