Ecological opportunities and physical challenges of fast-water habitats have dramatically
shaped the evolution of freshwater fish lineages from a broad diversity of clades globally …

In nature, aquatic organisms have evolved various attachment systems, and their attachment
ability has become a specific and mysterious survival skill for them. Therefore, it is significant …

The underlying principle of the unique dynamic adaptive adhesion capability of a rock-
climbing fish (Beaufortia kweichowensis) that can resist a pull-off force of 1000 times its …

Gripping slippery and flexible tissues during minimal invasive surgery (MIS) is often
challenging using a conventional tissue gripper. A force grip has to compensate for the low …

To resist hydrodynamic forces, two main underwater attachment strategies have evolved
multiple times in aquatic animals: glue-like “bioadhesive secretions” and pressure-driven …

Hillstream fishes live in the current with high flow velocity and strong water impact. To
survive in such environments, they evolved various adhesive apparatus and attachment …

Adhesion is the basic ability of many kinds of animals in nature, which ensures the survival
and reproduction of animal populations. The aquatic abalone has a strong adhesion …

Remora suckerfish (Echeneis naucrates) can perform skimming and sliding motions on the
surfaces of moving hosts to optimize adhesion positions. We found that remora achieve …

The dynamic spreading mechanism of liquid on a specific surface is vital for understanding
interface wetting and antifouling. Whereas, how to control the spreading process and …

Abstract The Guizhou gastromyzontidae (Beaufortia kweichowensis) can adhere to slippery
and fouled surfaces in torrential streams. A unique adhesive system utilized by the fish was …
