Abstract: Lizard tail autotomy is an antipredator strategy consisting of sturdy attachment at regular times but quick detachment during need. We propose a biomimetic fracture model of lizard tail autotomy using multiscale hierarchical structures. The structures… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Animal locomotion is driven by underlying axial and appendicular musculature. In order for locomotion to be effective, these muscles must be able to rapidly respond to changes in environmental and physiological demands. Although virtually… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Tail autotomy (hereafter ‘autotomy’) is an antipredator adaptation relatively uncommon among rodents, with the ‘false’ type being the most prevalent. Here, we document false autotomy in the glirid Eliomys melanurus (Wagner, 1840) via opportunistic… read more here.
