Abstract
Riedel studied the microstructures in geckos. Riedel found that hydrophobic, self-cleaning spinules (small stalks) have co-evolved with terrestrial microhabitat use as an adaptation to high exposure to dirt. Furthermore, Riedel established that the Binoe's Gecko is a model organism to study the evolution of adhesive toepads.
