| microornamentation of leaf chameleons (chamaeleonidae: brookesia, rhampholeon, and rieppeleon)--with comments on the evolution of microstructures in the chamaeleonidae. | chameleons (chamaeleonidae) feature many adaptations to their arboreal lifestyle, including zygodactylous feet, a prehensile tail, and epidermal microstructures. in arboreal tree chameleons, the substrate-contacting site of the feet and tail is covered by microscopic hair-like structures (setae) of 6-20 µm length. their friction enhancing function has been shown in recent studies. leaf chameleons and one representative of the tree chameleons (chamaeleo namaquensis) secondarily have become ground ... | 2015 | 25327894 |
