Jumping with adhesion: landing surface incline alters impact force and body kinematics in crested geckos

Abstract Arboreal habitats are characterized by a complex three-dimensional array of branches that vary in numerous characteristics, including incline, compliance, roughness, and diameter. Gaps must often be crossed, and this is frequently accomplished by leaping. Geckos bearing an adhesive system o...
