an abnormal yellow coloration in animals due to excess yellow pigment

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

Xanthism is a rare condition in which animals display an unusually high amount of yellow pigmentation. The xanthism observed in the frog population made the individuals easily visible to predators. Biologists studied xanthism in fish species to understand the genetic basis of color variation. The yellow coloration caused by xanthism differs from albinism because dark pigments remain present. Researchers documented several cases of xanthism in wild bird populations across the region.
