Scales enable the development of vivid or indistinct patterns which help the organism protect itself by camouflage, mimicry and warning.
Scales function in insulation, thermoregulation, producing pheromones (in males only), and aiding gliding flight, but the most important is the large diversity of vivid or indistinct patterns they provide, which help the organism protect itself by camouflage or mimicry, and which act as signals to other animals including rivals and potential mates.
Scales provide a number of functions, which include insulation, thermoregulation, aiding gliding flight, amongst others, the most important of which is the large diversity of vivid or indistinct patterns they provide which help the organism protect itself by camouflage, mimicry, and to seek mates.

The abnormal choroidal vessels referred to dilated choroidal vessels showing typical or indistinct "tangled pattern" or "pruned tree pattern".
As shown in Fig. 9l, m, nanopillar arrays produced on a silicon wafer display much clearer undulating patterns, whereas nanopillar arrays formed on a glass wafer have indistinct undulating patterns.
These systems are characterized by small, heterogeneous, and often indistinct field patterns, requiring a specialized methodology to map agricultural land cover.
The NetA antibody did not work well in embryos and showed a generally indistinct ubiquitous punctate pattern (data not shown).
The KH braids faded away after 06:15 LT and were replaced by relatively indistinct echo power patterns.
The hairline of newborn infants is usually indistinct; the familial hairline pattern is defined late in childhood through a process that is identical with that of baldness.
