Abstract

For some years, we have been studying the microtopography of soil diggers beetles fromArgentina to find the anti-adhesion pattern to decrease a soil particle adhesion for agricultural machinery components. In 2018, we designed a macro topographic pattern for the upper surface of a steel shovel for tilling (agricultural tool) fromthe study of the microtopography (microrelief) of the cuticular surface of the pronotum of Diloboderus abderus (Coleoptera, [ver mas...]
