  • METHODS & TECHNIQUES
    Modeling observed animal performance using the Weibull distribution
    Travis J. Hagey, Jonathan B. Puthoff, Kristen E. Crandell, Kellar Autumn, Luke J. Harmon
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 1603-1607; doi: 10.1242/jeb.129940

    Summary: Using the Weibull distribution to model observed animal performance data allows for more robust statistical analyses and estimates of maximum performance.

  • COMMENTARY
    Sticking to the story: outstanding challenges in gecko-inspired adhesives
    Peter H. Niewiarowski, Alyssa Y. Stark, Ali Dhinojwala
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 912-919; doi: 10.1242/jeb.080085

    Summary: High performing gecko-inspired adhesives have been the subject of extensive study for nearly 15 years. We comment on current gaps in understanding the natural system that seem critical to the design of highly functioning synthetic mimics.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Run don't walk: locomotor performance of geckos on wet substrates
    Alyssa Y. Stark, Jocelyn Ohlemacher, Ashley Knight, Peter H. Niewiarowski
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 2435-2441; doi: 10.1242/jeb.120683

    Summary: Geckos running along wet substrates suffer no significant loss in locomotor performance over short distances.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Gecko toe and lamellar shear adhesion on macroscopic, engineered rough surfaces
    Andrew G. Gillies, Amy Henry, Hauwen Lin, Angela Ren, Kevin Shiuan, Ronald S. Fearing, Robert J. Full
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2014 217: 283-289; doi: 10.1242/jeb.092015
  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Neither male gonadal androgens nor female reproductive costs drive development of sexual size dimorphism in lizards
    Zuzana Starostová, Lukáš Kubička, Alison Golinski, Lukáš Kratochvíl
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 1872-1880; doi: 10.1242/jeb.079442
