• Properties, Principles, and Parameters of the Gecko Adhesive System (2006, background): “Natural surfaces are rarely smooth, and an important next step will be to measure empirically the effect of surface roughness (Vanhooydonck et al. 2005) on friction and adhesion in gecko setae to test the predictions of the new generation of theoretical models for rough surface contacts with micro…”
• Evidence for Gondwanan vicariance in an ancient clade of gecko lizards (2007, unknown): “Geckos possess two main characteristics that make them amenable to overseas dispersal: eggs that are resistant to desiccation and temporary immersion in sea water (Brown & Alcala, 1957); and a well developed digital adhesive mechanism (Russell, 2002; Vanhooydonck et al., 2005) that allows individual”
