Locomotion and adhesion: dynamic control of adhesive surface contact in ants.

Antonio Moreno Ollero, Alfonso Franco Silva · Arthropod structure & development · 2004

Summary

Investigating mechanisms of attachment control in Asian weaver ants by measuring the dynamics of the adhesive contact area and the claws during locomotion gives evidence that running ants control their adhesive contact Area by a combination of active movements of the claw flexor muscle and passive reactions of the mechanical system.
