| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Animals have various color patterns on their body surfaces. There are two types of pattern variations: "close+dissimilar" and "distant+similar." In addition, there are two types of "painting methods" for animal color patterns: "coloring book mode" and "turf war mode." By using comparative analyses focusing on these differences, we revealed some aspects of the developmental and evolutionary mechanisms underlying the diversity of animal color patterns.
