Zebra stripes: the questions raised by the answers

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.

We review how well these theories explain the nature (rather than simply the existence) of the stripes. Specifically, we explore how well different theories explain (i) the form of zebra stripes (especially on ...
