HIGHLIGHTS
- who: David Pramp#x000F6 and tzel from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the research: Widespread bone-based fluorescence in chameleons, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 30/05/2017
- what: The authors focused on the species specificity and sexual dimorphism of Calumma.
SUMMARY
The authors here show that many chameleon species have bony tubercles protruding from the skull that are visible through their scales, and fluoresce under UV light. In the genus Calumma, the number of these tubercles is sexually dimorphic in most species, suggesting a signalling role, and also strongly reflects species . . .
