Biological Micro- and Nanotribology
Ever since the genesis of life, and throughout the course its further evolution, Nature has constantly been called upon to act as an engineer in solving technical problems. …
Seed Dispersal by Ants in a Deciduous Forest Ecosystem
Countless ants transport and deposit seeds and thereby influence the survival, death, and evolution of many plant species. In higher plants, seed dispersal by ants (myrmecochory) …
Advances in Biomimetics
This Special Issue presents contributions from biological fields focusing on the identification of underlying principles in living systems, and manuscripts that apply findings …
Functional Surfaces in Biology
The slime envelope is strongly involved in the proper functioning of the diaspore at different regulatory levels. It plays an essential role in dispersal, and creates conditions …
Functional Surfaces in Biology
This book is devoted to the rapidly growing area of science dealing with structure and properties of biological surfaces in their relation to particular function(s). This volume, …
Functional Surfaces in Biology III
This book is devoted to the rapidly growing area of science dealing with structure and properties of biological surfaces in their relation to particular functions. This volume, …
Combined Discrete and Continual Approaches in Biological Modelling
Basic laws of nature are rather simple, but observed biological structures and their dynamic behaviors are unbelievably complicated. This book is devoted to a study of this …
Attachment Devices of Insect Cuticle
In 1974 when I published my book, Biological Mechanism of Attachment, not many pages were required to report on the attachment devices of insect cuticles. As in most fields of …
Attachment Structures and Adhesive Secretions in Arachnids
This book surveys attachment structures and adhesive secretions occurring in this class of animals and discusses the relationships between structure, properties, and function in …
Physical and Chemical Interactions between Insects and Plants
Insects and plants have been interacting for more than 350 million years, often resulting in species variability and radiation. Studying insect-plant chemical and mechanical …
