The northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis; pictured) owes its striking appearance to red ketocarotenoid pigments that are converted from yellow pigments in its diet. In Current Biology, Toomey et al. characterize the enzymatic pathway for this conversion in birds and fish (M. B. Toomey et al. Curr. Biol. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2022.08.013; 2022).
