Methods used to study these systems—CT scanning, histology, finite element analysis, & mechanical testing—directly influence how the biological principles of armor are defined and understood. @karlycohen.bsky.social @cmdonatelli.bsky.social @schulzscience.bsky.social et al doi.org/10.1093/icb/...

Comparative osteoderm morphology of fossil and extant armadillos, highlighting the structural conservation of body armor across evolutionary time. (A) Extant screaming hairy armadillo (Chaetophractus vellerosus) with inset showing a close-up of its osteoderms. (B) Fossil Glyptodon sp. osteoderm, exhibiting a rosette-like pattern characteristic of glyptodonts. (C–D) Fossil osteoderms of Glyptotherium floridanum, showing variation in surface texture and overall shape. (E–I) Fossil osteoderms of Holmesina floridanus, demonstrating rectangular morphology and diverse surface ornamentation. The arrangement showcases the remarkable continuity in osteoderm shape and function from extinct armored xenarthrans to their modern relatives. Fossil specimens were donated for scanning by T. Stankowich. Chaetophractus vellerosus specimen was donated to M. Paig-Tran from the Orange County Zoo and Scott Weldy, DVM.

Fig. 4
Micro to Macro Case Study. (A) Photo of Bathyagonus alascansus. (B) Micro-CT scan of B. alascansus. (C) Single scale (see blue highlighted region in B, E) showing hexagonal shape. (D) Idealized hexagonal models tessellated for 3D printing. (E) Three scales in a single row showing overlap (see dotted box in B). (F) Histology of overlapping scales (see white box in E). (G) Side profile of our idealized CAD models (D) showing overlap profile. The top and bottom (light gray) are perfect hexagons, and the middle (darker grays) is interpolated between them. (H) Force required to bend differently shaped models with a 30% overlap profile. Models were tested in three-point bending on a material testing system. Max load (N) was extracted from the data and plotted. (I) Model of shape, orientation, and overlap plotted on a log-log scale. MF is a dimensionless metric ((d + Overlap%)/L) where d is the distance between the tile border and bending axis and L is the length of the tile border (see inset). The unitless metric can be measured on models of all shapes from triangle to octagon. Using that metric, plus the coefficients resulting from the logarithmic fit in the figure, we can estimate the force required to bend models not physically tested in this study.

Many mammals have fur the color of brown and black. Why don't they have more exotic colors, like purple and neon pink?
