Ontogenetic Color Switching in Lizards as a by-Product of Guanine Cell Development

Gan Zhang, Venkata Jayasurya Yallapragada, M. Shemesh, Avital Wagner, Alexander Upcher, Iddo Pinkas, H. L. O. McClelland, Dror Hawlena, Benjamin A. Palmer

The paper shows that ontogenetic color switching in lizards results from reorganization of guanine crystals in chromatophore cells during development.
