Fig. 1From: Home-field advantage: native gecko exhibits improved exertion capacity and locomotor ability in structurally complex environments relative to its invasive counterpartSchematics of apparatuses used in this study, including our unbranched (a) and branched (b) wooden dowel structures. We used a custom-built racetrack (c) equipped with IR break beams and an Arduino to measure exertion capacity and locomotor performance on a flat, two-dimensional surface (i.e., a painted wall). For scale, the structure to the left of each schematic is 1 m in heightBack to article page
