Reversible Adhesive Bio-Toe with Hierarchical Structure Inspired by Gecko
Biomimetics, 2023 The agile locomotion of adhesive animals is mainly attributed to their sophisticated hierarchical feet and reversible adhesion motility. Their structure–function relationship is an urgent issue to be solved to understand biologic adhesive systems and the

Coming to America: Multiple Origins of New World Geckos [PDF]
, 2011 Geckos in the Western Hemisphere provide an excellent model to study faunal assembly at a continental scale. We generated a time-calibrated phylogeny, including exemplars of all New World gecko genera, to produce a biogeographic scenario for the New ...

Physik in unserer Zeit, 2016 AbstractGeckos finden sogar kopfüber an Decken mühelos Halt. Das Prinzip dieser phänomenalen Haftung ist inzwischen gut verstanden. Industriell nutzbare Gecko‐Klebebänder gibt es jedoch noch nicht. Die künstlichen Gecko‐Strukturen müssen zwar gut haften, aber sich auch wieder ablösen lassen und effektiv selbst reinigen können.

Ecology and co-existence of two endemic day gecko (Phelsuma) species in Seychelles native palm forest [PDF]
, 2011 In island ecosystems, reptiles play diverse ecological roles as a result of niche broadening, which increases potential niche overlap between species. Ecological niche partitioning is a means of reducing direct competition between coexisting species and ...
