Changing rounds into squares or combining stripes? In-depth analysis of Fritillaria flowers and the color-changing pattern of Sarcophaga flies sheds light on the diversity and morphogenesis of checkerboard patterns in Eukaryotes

2024-02-07

Abstract excerpt

Important in many human artistic cultures, checkerboard patterns are rare in nature like many motifs based on squared geometry. Nevertheless, they are expected to be very detectable by the visual systems due to their periodic geometry and contrasted two-tone coloring, therefore potential specific biological functions are suspected. Here, thanks to a biological survey, we draw the first diversity landscape of eukar...
