Phylogenetic mapping of scale nanostructure diversity in snakes
BACKGROUND: Many species of snakes exhibit epidermal surface nanostructures that form complex motifs conferring self-cleaning properties, and sometimes structural iridescence, to their skin. RESULTS: Using confocal microscopy, we show that these specialised cells can be greatly elongated along their...
