Eumelanin and pheomelanin pigmentation in mollusc shells may be less common than expected: insights from mass spectrometry

BACKGROUND: The geometric patterns that adorn the shells of many phylogenetically disparate molluscan species are comprised of pigments that span the visible spectrum. Although early chemical studies implicated melanin as a commonly employed pigment, surprisingly little evidence generated with more...
