Hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials and their applications (2018, background): “Some examples of mammals which incorporate this characteristic include desert lizards which make use of scale hinges to transport drinking water (Sherbrooke et al. 2007).”
A methodology for the generation of biomimetic design concepts (2015, background): “The Thorny devil (Comanns et al. 2011; Sherbrooke et al. 2007) and Namib beetle (Hamilton and Seely 1976; Nørgaard and Dacke 2010; Parker and Lawrence 2001) represent mechanisms for water gain and transportation, venation (Katifori, Szollosi, and Magnasco 2010) represents mechanisms for transportati”
