Imperfect transparency and camouflage in glass frogs [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020 Camouflage patterns prevent detection and/or recognition by matching the background, disrupting edges, or mimicking particular background features. In variable habitats, however, a single pattern cannot match all available sites all of the time, and efficacy may therefore be reduced.

Frog tongue acts as muscle-powered adhesive tape [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Frogs are well known to capture fast-moving prey by flicking their sticky tongues out of the mouth. This tongue projection behaviour happens extremely fast which makes frog tongues a biological high-speed adhesive system.

Egg Clutch Survival under Prolonged Paternal Care in a Glass Frog, Hyalinobatrachium talamancae
Copeia, 2020 Previous studies have reported egg attendance as the most common protective behavior among the Neotropical frog family Centrolenidae. However, research on the effect of parental care and other factors thought to affect offspring survival is still missing for a great number of species.

When the going gets rough – studying the effect of surface roughness on the adhesive abilities of tree frogs [PDF]
, 2016 Tree frogs need to adhere to surfaces of various roughnesses in their natural habitats; these include bark, leaves and rocks. Rough surfaces can alter the effectiveness of their toe pads, due to factors such as a change of real contact area and abrasion

Meta‐Virtuality: Strategies of Disembeddedness in Virtual Interiorities
Journal of Interior Design, EarlyView., 2022 ABSTRACT To reclaim their seat in the rapidly growing market of virtual space, designers of the built environment can benefit from reevaluating theories that see the virtual as a mere extension/reflection of the physical. By claiming ontological autonomy from external worlds, the virtual is liberated from the hegemonic control of the physical.
