Characterization of melanic and non-melanic forms in domestic and peridomestic populations of Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
(BioMed Central, 2020-02-03)
BACKGROUND. Melanic (dark) morphs have been barely reported in peridomestic and sylvatic conditions for Triatoma infestans, the most important vector of Chagas disease in the Southern Cone of South America. Adults with ...
A REPORT ON A CASE OF MELANISM IN A SPECIMEN OF Crotalus durissus terrificus (LAURENTI, 1768)
(Centro de Estudos de Venenos e Animais Peçonhentos - CEVAP, Universidade Estadual Paulista - UNESP, 1999)
This report documents a case of a melanic specimen of Crotalus durissus terrificus (Laurenti, 1768) found in Bofete, São Paulo State, Brazil. The authors describe this melanic snake, determine the electrophoretic pattern ...

Effect of body mass and melanism on heat balance in Liolaemus lizards of the goetschi clade
(Company of Biologists, 2016-08)
The body temperature of ectotherms depends on the environmental temperatures and behavioral adjustments, but morphology may also have an effect. Forexample, in colder environments, animals tend to be larger and to show ...
Variation in body size and degree of melanism within a lizards clade: is it driven by latitudinal and climatic gradients?
(Wiley, 2015-04)
Body size (BS) varies in response to several selective pressures. In ectotherms, thermal inertia may affect thermoregulation, since larger BSs increase heat conservation as Bergmann originally stipulated for endotherms. ...
