• Natural and biomimetic artificial surfaces for superhydrophobicity, self-cleaning, low adhesion, and drag reduction (2011, background): “These grooved scales reduce the formation of vortices present on a smooth surface, resulting in water moving efficiently over their surface [12].”
• Corrosion behavior of superhydrophobic surfaces: A review (2015, background): “Bechert et al. (2000) showed that the shark skin is covered by very small individual tooth-like scales called dermal denticles (little skin teeth), ribbed with longitudinal grooves (aligned parallel to the local flow direction of the water).”
