^aThe number of lamellae was approximated as 15 based on text from two published studies [23,24].

^bWhile the diameter of the lamellar corpuscle in the star-nosed mole was previously reported as 17.5 µm [34], no additional structural information was provided. Therefore, the diameter was measured from a micrograph of a PC included in that study, yielding a diameter of 9.2 µm.

^cMeasurements are in pixels because no scale was provided in the published images.
