Ecological character displacement in Plethodon: biomechanical differences found from a geometric morphometric study.

abstract：:In solid-state physics, "doping" is a pivotal concept that allows controlling and engineering of the macroscopic electronic and optical properties of materials such as semiconductors by judiciously introducing small concentrations of impurities. Recently, this concept has been translated to two-dimensional photonic sc...
