The Biomimicry Institute has published an interview with Alyssa Stark, a self proclaimed Functional Morphologist. Her research is currently focused on adhesive systems, particularly those of geckos and ants, which serve as inspiration.


In her own words: "I consider myself a functional morphologist that studies biological adhesives, focused right now on the adhesive systems of ants and geckos. As a scientist, it is my job to gather information on the biological forms, processes, and ecosystems that biomimicry practitioners wish to emulate".
