Table 3 Gecko path length and number of branches geckos traversed on the branched structure, maximal exertion time (MET) on a planar surface, the total number of stops on a planar surface, and maximum sprint speed on a planar surface. Values are means ± s.e.m.

From: Home-field advantage: native gecko exhibits improved exertion capacity and locomotor ability in structurally complex environments relative to its invasive counterpart
