Urca T, Lehmann F, Gorb E, Gorb S
Sci Rep . 2024 Aug; 14(1):18267. PMID: 39107360
In many insects the surface of the eye is nanostructured by arrays of protuberances termed ommatidial gratings which provide the cuticle with anti-reflective, anti-wetting and self-cleaning properties. The hypothesised anti-contamination...

Claus C, Gorb E, Gorb S, Li C
Acta Biomater . 2024 Aug; 186:330-341. PMID: 39097128
Most of the plants using epizoochory show adaptations to this diaspore dispersal strategy by having the diaspores covered by barbs, hooks, spines or viscid outgrowths, which allow diaspores to easily...

Gorb E, Gorb S
Plants (Basel) . 2024 Jul; 13(14). PMID: 39065459
To reduce negative effects of floral visitation by ants, which do not serve as reliable cross-pollinators, some plants have developed a non-floral, stem-based defense mechanism called greasy pole syndrome. In...

Borodich F, Gao Z, Gorb E, Gorb S, Jin X
Biomimetics (Basel) . 2024 Jul; 9(7). PMID: 39056883
Insect attachment devices enhance adhesion to complex-geometry substrates by increasing the real contact area. In nature, insects mainly interact with plant surfaces that are often covered by 3D wax structures....

Gorb E, Gorb S
Beilstein J Nanotechnol . 2024 Apr; 15:385-395. PMID: 38633766
This study focuses on experimental testing of the contamination hypothesis and examines how the contamination of insect adhesive pads with three-dimensional epicuticular waxes of different plant species contributes to the...

Matsumura Y, Gorb E, Gorb S
J R Soc Interface . 2023 Aug; 20(205):20230324. PMID: 37582406
Green dock beetles exhibit sexual dimorphism in tarsal attachment setae: females have only pointed, lanceolate and spatula-like setae, while males additionally possess discoidal ones. The sexual dimorphism is probably attributed...

Gorb E, Gorb S
Insects . 2023 Mar; 14(3). PMID: 36975970
In order to understand whether the petal surface in "cafeteria"-type flowers, which offer their nectar and pollen to insect pollinators in an open way, is adapted to a stronger attachment...

Gorb E, Kozeretska I, Gorb S
Beilstein J Nanotechnol . 2022 Sep; 13:807-816. PMID: 36105691
Using cryo scanning electron microscopy, the surface micromorphology of vegetative (leaf blade and ligule) and generative (pedicel and outer glume) organs in , one of the only two flowering plants...

Naturwissenschaften . 2022 Apr; 109(2):24. PMID: 35377000
This paper presents an experimental study on surface icing on leaves in six plant species having different surface micromorphology and wettability properties. Contrary to previous studies on ice crystallization, which...

Insects . 2021 Nov; 12(11). PMID: 34821826
In order to understand the effects of the morphology and surface texture of flower stems in on the visiting frequency of generalist ants, we conducted experiments with ants running on...
