Abstract

The scute reticulate scales of birds differ morphologically. We present evidence that the differences extend to the level of molecular content and organization. From the molecular evidence it appears that the scute was derived from the crocodilian scale and that the reticulate scale, like the feather, may be a structure unique to birds.
