Skin hydrophobicity as an adaptation for self‐cleaning in geckos
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 11, Page 4640-4651, June 2020., 2020 Hydrophobicity is common in plants and animals, but ecological factors promoting its evolution are still unclear. Using advancing contact‐angle measurements, we test that high hydrophobicity has coevolved with terrestrial microhabitat use in geckos, as ground is dirty and filled with pathogens. Our results suggest that hydrophobicity has coevolved with

, 2013 Infraorder Gerromorpha Popov, 1971 Gerromorpha is sister group to the Panheteroptera, (i.e., Nepomorpha, Leptopodomorpha, Cimicomorpha, and Pentatomomorpha) (Schuh & Slater 1995), and because members of Nepomorpha are found back into the late Triassic, the Gerromorpha must be of at least the same age (Damgaard 2008).
