Plastron-Mediated Growth of Captive Bubbles on Superhydrophobic Surfaces
Langmuir, 2015 Captive bubbles on a superhydrophobic (SH) surface have been shown to increase in volume via injection of air through the surrounding plastron. The experimental contact diameter against volume trends were found to follow that predicted by the Surface Evolver simulation generally but corresponded with the simulated data at contact angle (CA) = 158° when

Plastron measurements of SMNS 15479 and other proterochersids.
Given plastron lengths exclude the lengths of gulars, extragulars, and caudal projections beyond the posterior edge of the intercaudal scute due to their variable development and incompleteness of the gular imprint in SMNS 15479, i.e., they correspond to

Egg Plastron of the Bog Copper Butterfly \u3ci\u3eTharsalea\u3c/i\u3e (\u3ci\u3eEpidemia\u3c/i\u3e) \u3ci\u3eepixanthe\u3c/i\u3e (Bsd. & Le C. [1835]) (Lycaenidae: Lycaeninae) [PDF]
, 2021 The egg of the Bog Copper butterfly, Tharsalea (Epidemia) epixanthe, has a prominent highly-sculptured chorionic surface. Trapped within the chorion is a labyrinth of air spaces which has been proposed as a plastron for gas exchange while the egg is ...

, 2013 Background: The turtle plastron is composed of a keratinized epidermis overlying nine dermal bones. Its developmental origin has been controversial; recent evidence suggests that the plastral bones derive from trunk neural crest cells (NCCs).

Using the Blanding's Turtle (Emydoidea blandingii) plastron as a 'fingerprint': photo identification of an endangered species [PDF]
The ability to uniquely identify individuals is critical to estimating and monitoring trends in population sizes, one of the key metrics used to evaluate a species’ conservation status and success of mitigation strategies.
