Adhesive force and endurance of the pelvic sucker across different modes of waterfall-climbing in gobiid fishes: Contrasting climbing mechanisms share aspects of ontogenetic change
{{output}}
Waterfall-climbing gobiids from oceanic islands use a suction-based adhesive mechanism formed by fused pelvic fins (pelvic sucker) and exhibit rock-climbing behavior during upstream migration. Although adhesion is a common feature of locomotion in these fishes... ...
