- Modeling observed animal performance using the Weibull distribution
Summary: Using the Weibull distribution to model observed animal performance data allows for more robust statistical analyses and estimates of maximum performance.
- Sticking to the story: outstanding challenges in gecko-inspired adhesives
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.
- Run don't walk: locomotor performance of geckos on wet substrates
Summary: Geckos running along wet substrates suffer no significant loss in locomotor performance over short distances.
