• The effect of surface roughness on claw and adhesive hair performance in the dock beetle Gastrophysa viridula (2011, background): “Adhesive pad structures have independently developed in multiple lineages such as tree frogs, lizards, spiders and many insect orders; they broadly divide into ‘smooth’ (soft pads) and ‘hairy’ (arrays of microscopic setae) (Beutel & Gorb, 2001; Scherge & Gorb, 2001).”
• Inspiration from the natural world: from bio-adhesives to bio-inspired adhesives (2014, background): “It has been observed that the morphology of toe pads varies little between species, and that the best adhesion occurs when there is a continuous, thin film of fluid between the pad and the surface [58,72,76].”
