Vertebrates exhibit a wide range of color patterns, which play critical roles in mediating intra- and interspecific communication. Because of their diversity and visual accessibility, color patterns offer a unique and fascinating window into the processes underlying biological organization. In this review, we focus on describing many of the general principles governing the formation and evolution of color patterns in different vertebrate groups. We characterize the types of patterns, review the molecular and developmental mechanisms by which they originate, and discuss their role in constraining or facilitating evolutionary change. Lastly, we outline outstanding questions in the field and discuss different approaches that can be used to address them. Overall, we provide a unifying conceptual framework among vertebrate systems that may guide research into naturally evolved mechanisms underlying color pattern formation and evolution.
脊椎动物表现出广泛的颜色图案，这些图案在介导种内和种间交流方面起着关键作用。由于它们的多样性和视觉可及性，颜色图案为了解生物组织背后的过程提供了一个独特而迷人的窗口。在这篇综述中，我们专注于描述不同脊椎动物群体中颜色图案形成和进化的许多一般原则。我们描述了图案的类型，回顾了它们起源的分子和发育机制，并讨论了它们在限制或促进进化变化方面的作用。最后，我们概述了该领域的悬而未决的问题，并讨论了可以用来解决这些问题的不同方法。总的来说，我们为脊椎动物系统提供了一个统一的概念框架，这可能有助于研究颜色图案形成和进化的自然进化机制。
