Melanosome evolution shaped early vertebrate move onto land
Original: Melanosome evolution shaped sensory biology and terrestrial adaptations in early aquatic vertebrates
A study published in Nature reports that the evolution of melanosomes — pigment-containing cell structures — played a role in shaping sensory biology and adaptations that allowed early aquatic vertebrates to transition to terrestrial life. The findings offer new insight into how pigment-related biology may have influenced the development of senses and traits needed for life on land.
Why now: New Nature research on how melanosomes influenced the vertebrate transition from water to land is drawing scientific interest
