Integrating biomechanics in evolutionary studies, with examples from the amphidromous goby model system

Richard W. Blob et al.

Summary: The functional capacities of animals are crucial for their survival and reproduction in nature. Understanding the biomechanical performance of animals can provide insights into various aspects of their biology, including ecological distributions and evolutionary diversification. By studying the comparative biomechanics of amphidromous goby fishes, we have clarified how different aspects of biomechanical performance contribute to their ecological and evolutionary diversity. Our research highlights the importance of integrating knowledge of mechanical underpinnings to gain critical insights into ecological and evolutionary questions.

Advanced Bionic Attachment Equipment Inspired by the Attachment Performance of Aquatic Organisms: A Review

Dexue Zhang et al.

Summary: In nature, aquatic organisms have developed various attachment systems, making their attachment ability a unique survival skill. Studying and utilizing their unique attachment surfaces and outstanding attachment characteristics is significant for developing new attachment equipment. This review classifies the non-smooth surface morphologies of suction cups and explains their role in the attachment process. It summarizes recent research on the attachment capacity of aquatic suction cups and introduces advancements in bionic attachment equipment and technology.

A New Concept for an Adhesive Material Inspired by Clingfish Sucker Nanofilaments

Kazuma Tsujioka et al.

Summary: This article analyzes the effect of the combination of nanofilaments and mucus on the adhesion force of clingfish sucker disk. The study found that nanofilaments can enhance the adhesion force of mucus, and the hardness and length of the nanofilaments and the Young's modulus and thickness of the mucus-mimicking layer also have significant effects on the adhesion force. The structural combination of hardness and softness in the clingfish sucker disk is crucial for achieving strong adhesion.

The effects of soft and rough substrates on suction-based adhesion

Jonathan M. Huie et al.

Summary: The northern clingfish has a suction-based adhesive disc that can stick to rough surfaces, similar to bioinspired suction cups. The study found that surface roughness had little effect on adhesion on compliant substrates, and the biomimetic suction cups performed the best on these surfaces.

Water as a glue: Elasticity-enhanced wet attachment of biomimetic microcup structures

Yue Wang et al.

Summary: This study uses a novel microcup to reveal the mechanisms of its attachment and detachment underwater. The cup utilizes elasticity-enhanced hydrodynamics to generate self-sealing and high suction, effectively turning water into glue. The study also identifies three mechanisms of cup breaking and develops a mathematical model to describe the interplay between attachment and detachment.

Sticky, stickier and stickiest - a comparison of adhesive performance in clingfish, lumpsuckers and snailfish

Jonathan M. Huie et al.

Summary: The northern clingfish, Pacific spiny lumpsucker, and marbled snailfish are fishes that have evolved ventral adhesive discs. Adhesive performance is influenced by the flow regimes in their habitats. The northern clingfish has the highest adhesive forces, while lumpsuckers and snailfish generate less adhesive force but have different body shapes and habitat preferences.

Sucker Shapes, Skeletons, and Bioinspiration: How Hard and Soft Tissue Morphology Generates Adhesive Performance in Waterfall Climbing Goby Fishes

A. M. Palecek et al.

Summary: This study investigates the factors that affect the passive adhesive performance of waterfall climbing gobies. The results suggest that besides external shape and skeletal morphology, other factors may have a stronger influence on sucker tenacity. Therefore, the relationship between suction disc morphology and adhesive performance may be influenced by various physical factors.

Evolutionary integration and modularity in the diversity of the suckermouth armoured catfishes

Corinthia R. R. Black et al.

Summary: The study on suckermouth armoured catfishes suggests a high level of modularity in their body, with morphological differences between the head and post-cranial body. Different subfamilies exhibit different patterns of modularity and integration, which may have influenced their diversification.

Enhanced Adhesion of Synthetic Discs with Micro-Patterned Margins

Weimian Zhou et al.

Summary: This paper presents the development of a bioinspired adhesive disc based on the microscopic structures found in the hillstream loach. The synthetic adhesion system, fabricated using micro 3D printing and MEMs technology, showed enhanced adhesion forces due to the synergy of the hierarchically micro-patterned margin and the disc cavity.

Alejandro Londono-Burbano et al.

Summary: This study presents a phylogenetic analysis of the Loricariinae, specifically focusing on the Harttiini and Farlowellini tribes using molecular and morphological data. The tribes were elevated from subtribes, with each clade diagnosed with phenotypical synapomorphies. The study provides identification keys and phylogenetic diagnoses for the family-group taxa and genera within the two tribes.

Functional surface microstructures inspired by nature-From adhesion and wetting principles to sustainable new devices

Eduard Arzt et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the mechanisms of interaction between biological surface micro-patterns and liquids, solids, and soft matter, as well as the methods of using micro-pattern design to achieve wetting, self-cleaning, anti-fouling, adhesion, skin adherence, and sensing functions. Compared to traditional chemical strategies, micro-patterning methods offer superior resource efficiency and sustainability and can be applied in areas such as water resource management, robotics, and health monitoring devices.

Physical constraints lead to parallel evolution of micro- and nanostructures of animal adhesive pads: a review

Thies H. Buscher et al.

Summary: Adhesive pads are functional systems evolved in response to environmental conditions, with hairy and smooth structures reflecting different attachment adaptations. Different animal species have evolved specific attachment solutions based on their environmental surface conditions, while similar physical principles have led to convergent evolution of attachment organs across unrelated groups. The study focuses on structural and functional principles, micro-and nanostructures, and biomimetic implications of adhesive systems, particularly in insects.
