摘要
The sizes of the digital adhesive pads of the lizards that are capable of moving on inclined or vertical surfaces change with body size. The adhesive pad surface to body mass ratio in different species to some extent, sometimes noticeably, deviates from isometry (i.e. from geometric similarity). Variations in the relation of body size to adhesive pad surface area may be due to different combinations of physical effects which influence adhesion. These effects can limit both the maximal and the minimal body size of the lizards that utilize micro-fibrillar adhesives for climbing.
