Very excited for our new review paper (with Tony Russell) on gecko adhesion, locomotion, and ecomechanics. This stemmed from the JEB symposium last year. @jexpbiol.bsky.social @ucriverside.bsky.social #gecko #ecomechanics #adhesion journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...
Geckos running with dynamic adhesion: towards integration of ecology, energetics and biomechanics
Summary: We propose a set of lab and field experiments to further investigate adhesively assisted gecko locomotion, which is controlled by a hierarchical system including muscles, vascular tissue, tendons and hair-like adhesive structures.

Our new work in ecomechanics using sharks to integrate trophic ecology w bite performance (Front in Mar Sci) builds upon past work on shark tooth morphology published in JMorph. Check out both.

Do sharks exhibit heterodonty by tooth position and over ontogeny? A comparison using elliptic Fourier analysis
Ontogenetic changes in morphology are limited in bull sharks and do not occur in blacktip and bonnethead sharks. Heterodonty is ubiquitous within the jaws of each species. Significant interspecific d....

A pleasant Thanksgiving surprise . Our work on shark ecomechanics, which integrates bite performance with trophic ecology using stable isotopes, was officially published - a solid ecomorphological piece of work.
