Lecture Title: Ecology and Origins of the Gecko Adhesive System
Description: Gecko adhesive toe pads are an exciting example of biological nanotechnology. Using a combination of live and museum specimens, lab and field data, and high-resolution imaging techniques, we will investigate patterns of trait development, biomechanics, and ecological morphology.
