On latches in biological systems: a comparative morphological and functional study of the retinaculum and the dens lock in Collembola

BACKGROUND: Springtails have the ability to jump using morphological structures consisting of a catapult, the furca, and a latching system constructed with interaction of the retinaculum and the dens lock. The retinaculum engages in the furca at the dens lock in order to form a spring mechanism. The...
