Figure 1

Setup for jumping experiments with landing platforms of different inclines. (A) A gecko jumping onto a lower horizontal platform. (B) A gecko jumping onto an inclined platform (45°). (C) A gecko jumping onto a vertical platform. Drawings are not scaled. Constructions that hold the take-off and landing platform are not shown. d: distance between platforms; hl: height of the landing platform; hto: height of the take-off platform.
