A comparative analysis of clinging ability among pad‐bearing lizards
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The results indicate that although pad area is a strong determinant of clinging ability, other factors enable these lizards to maintain functional similarity, and despite the tight correlation between pad area and clingingAbility, pad area scales with body mass by a lower slope than clinging ability.
