This study shows how cornsnakes use redundant contacts and force redistribution to climb vertical surfaces, revealing biomechanical principles for agile robotics.

The paper examines microstructures on preserved reptile scales, finding they retain features similar to shed skins and reveal a new case of convergent evolution in sidewinding vipers.

This study shows that katydids adjust their walking speed and gait based on incline angle and body mass, but not substrate roughness.
