Abstract Cat predation upon bat species has been reported to have significant effects on bat populations in both rural and urban areas. The majority of research in this area has focussed on observational data from bat rehabilitators documenting injur

Of all mammalian vibrissae, those of certain species of pinnipeds are exceptional. Researchers believe that their curious undulating form evolved for hydrodynamic detection. Our understanding of how these whiskers work depends on a geometrical model

Bio-inspired robotic whisker touch sensors exist, although the shape of the whisker is often overlooked, despite it affecting whisker mechanics and resulting whisker movements. We demonstrate here in three Carnivora species that whisker shape affects

Bats have large, thin wings that are particularly susceptible to tearing. Anatomical specializations, such as fiber reinforcement, strengthen the wing and increase its resistance to puncture, and an extensive vasculature system across the wing also p

Whiskers are present in many species of mammals. They are specialised vibrotactile sensors that sit within strongly innervated follicles. Whisker size and shape will affect the mechanical signals that reach the follicle, and hence the information tha

Rat whiskers curve naturally as Euler spirals.
This paper reports on an analytical study of the intrinsic shapes of 523 whiskers from 15 rats. We show that the variety of whiskers on a rat’s cheek, each of which has different lengths and shape

Diabetic foot ulceration is a major complication of diabetes. A recent systematic review has concluded that an increase in skin temperature is associated with a higher risk of diabetic foot ulceration. However, the mechanism of the rise of foot tempe

Mammals have adapted to different habitats, food types, and modes of locomotion, which are reflected in a diverse range of paw morphologies. While the behavior of rats and guinea pigs is well defined, especially in terms of their locomotor and foragi
