Extreme positive allometry of animal adhesive pads and the size limits of adhesion-based climbing.

David Labonte, Christofer J Clemente, Alex Dittrich, Chi-Yun Kuo, Alfred J Crosby, Duncan J Irschick, Walter Federle

The paper analyzes the allometry of adhesive pad area across 225 climbing animal species, finding extreme positive scaling and phylogenetic constraints on pad area expansion.

Biomechanics of shear-sensitive adhesion in climbing animals: peeling, pre-tension and sliding-induced changes in interface strength

David Labonte, Walter Federle

This study investigates how shear forces affect adhesion in stick insect footpads, showing that sliding increases interface strength through pre-tension and reduced secretion layer thickness.
