Skin hydrophobicity as an adaptation for self‐cleaning in geckos
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Hydrophobicity is common in plants and animals, typically caused by high relief microtexture functioning to keep the surface clean. Although the occurrence and physical causes of hydrophobicity are well understood, ecological factors promoting its ...
