First paper from our lab! Led by Calvin Riiska, we found that skin microtextures remain intact in museum-preserved reptiles. Using this result, we found a new instance of convergent evolution in sidewinding! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
Preserved reptile scales retain microscopic features, revealing a new instance of convergent evolution | Journal of The Royal Society Interface
Small-scale structures on biological surfaces can profoundly impact how animals move,
appear and interact with their environments. Such textures may be especially important
for limbless reptiles, such...
