This morning a nice gal researcher from Berkeley came over and collected
samples from the feet of all my Rhacodactylus; R leachianus (Pine Island
and Grand Terre), R. ciliatus, R. ariculatus and R. sarasinorum. I will
be collecting samples from the geckos in the future so she does not have
to come out. We have posted links to this research project's findings
before on the list, the researcher promised to send links to findings we
would be interested in. I told her we were very interested! The goal of
the project is to enable some robot to climb up a wall; there are also
many teams working with this project interested in developing tape that
is as good as our geckos' feet!
If anyone in the San Francisco area is keeping Diplodactylus she would
be interested in collecting samples; contact me.
