Physical constraints lead to parallel evolution of micro- and nanostructures of animal adhesive pads: a review
Adhesive pads are functional systems with specific micro- and nanostructures which evolved as a response to specific environmental conditions and therefore exhibit convergent traits. The functional constraints that shape systems for the attachment to a surface are general requirements. Different str...
