The wet noses of dogs and other mammals are attributed to polygonal arrays of fluid-retaining grooves thought to aid in thermoregulation, chemosensation, and even hunting. A new study reveals the mechanical basis of their morphogenesis.
狗和其他哺乳动物湿漉漉的鼻子，归因于保留液体的多角形凹槽阵列，这些凹槽阵列被认为有助于体温调节、化学感觉，甚至狩猎。一项新的研究揭示了它们形态发生的力学基础。
