Melanosome diversity and convergence in the evolution of iridescent avian feathers—Implications for paleocolor reconstruction
Some of the most varied colors in the natural world are created by iridescent nanostructures in bird feathers, formed by layers of melanin‐containing melanosomes. The morphology of melanosomes in iridescent feathers is known to vary, but the extent of this diversity, and when it evolved, is unknown....
