Comparative and functional analysis of the digital mucus glands and secretions of tree frogs
BACKGROUND: Mucus and mucus glands are important features of the amphibian cutis. In tree frogs, the mucus glands and their secretions are crucial components of the adhesive digital pads of these animals. Despite a variety of hypothesised functions of these components in tree frog attachment, the fu...
