The brown anole dewlap revisited: do predation pressure, sexual selection, and species recognition shape among-population signal diversity? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Animal signalling structures are amongst the most variable characteristics, as they are subjected to a diversity of selection pressures. A well-known example of a diverse signalling system in the animal kingdom is the dewlap of Anolis lizards.

Triple Stiffness: A Bioinspired Strategy to Combine Load‐Bearing, Durability, and Impact‐Resistance
Advanced Science, 2021 Structures with variable stiffness have received increasing attention in the fields of robotics, aerospace, structural, and biomedical engineering. This is because they not only adapt to applied loads, but can also combine mutually exclusive properties ...

Granular Media Friction Pad for Robot Shoes—Hexagon Patterning Enhances Friction on Wet Surfaces
Applied Sciences, 2021 For maximizing friction forces of robotic legs on an unknown/unpredictable substrate, we introduced the granular media friction pad, consisting of a thin elastic membrane encasing loosely filled granular material. On coming into contact with a substrate,

Intersexual chemo-sensation in a “visually-oriented” lizard, Anolis sagrei [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 While the conspicuous visual displays of anoles have been studied in great depth, the possibility that these lizards may also interact through chemical signalling has received hardly any consideration.

Molecular insights into the axon guidance molecules Sidestep and Beaten path
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 The transmembrane protein Sidestep (Side) functions as a substrate-bound attractant for motor axons in Drosophila. Outgrowing motor axons recognize Side via Beaten path Ia (Beat) and migrate along Side-expressing tissues.

Morphological responses to feeding in ticks (Ixodes ricinus)
Zoological Letters, 2018 Background Ticks can survive long periods without feeding but, when feeding, ingest large quantities of blood, resulting in a more than 100-fold increase of body volume.
