WFS News: Fossil scales illuminate the early evolution of lepidopterans and structural colors
April 12th, 2018 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Lepidopteran scales exhibit remarkably complex ultrastructures, many of which produce structural colors that are the basis for diverse communication strategies. Little is known, however, about the early evolution of lepidopteran scales and their photonic structures. We report scale architectures from Jurassic Lepidoptera from the United Kingdom, Germany, Kazakhstan, […]
