Schematic of how we measured live clingfish suction performance in a water tunnel with pressure transducers

In @fishguy.bsky.social’s lab we have done many studies on the suction cups of dead clingfish. In this new paper, @fishyologist.bsky.social et al and I found that clingfish can control their suction and stick harder than dead ones! @sicbjournals.bsky.social 🐟 🧪

Fig. 3.SEM images of leg cross-sections and single setae of a female Macropis europaea. (A) Fore-leg tarsus with pluridentate setae (plr) and plumose setae (plm) on the dorsal side (top). Spatula shaped setae (sp), found exclusively on fore-legs so far, are visible on the ventral side (bottom). (B) Middle-leg tibia with pluridentate setae (plr) on the ventral side (bottom) and anterior side (right), plumose setae (plm) on the dorsal side (top) and the pollen brush (pb) on the posterior side (left). Scale 50 µm.
