Attachment Beyond the Adhesive System: The Contribution of Claws to Gecko Clinging and Locomotion
Abstract
Attachment is imperative for many biological functions, such as holding position and climbing, but can be challenged by natural conditions. Adhesive toe pads and claws have evolved in multiple terrestrial lineages as important dynamic attachment mechanisms, and some clades (e.g., geckos) exhibit both features. The functional relationship of these features that comprise a complex attachment system is not well-understood, particularly within...
