Towards a Better Understanding of the Origins of Microlens Arrays in Mesozoic Ophiuroids and Asteroids [PDF]
Echinoderms are characterized by a calcite endoskeleton with a unique microstructure, which is optimized for multiple functions. For instance, some light-sensitive ophiuroids (Ophiuroidea) and asteroids (Asteroidea) possess skeletal plates with multi ...
