As the angle of stability of the substrate properties decreased, the sand burial performance of the lizard was even better after the bilateral toe fringes were removed. The results of the LASSO model and the path analysis model showed that the stability angle provided the opposite effect on sand burial performance in different toe fringe states. These results further suggest that the sand burial function of toe fringes may not be suitable for highly mobile sand substrates. It remains to be tested further whether the function of toe fringes is more important for running on sand.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12983-024-00546-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,29]],"date-time":"2024-09-29T23:17:06Z","timestamp":1727651826000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Are toe fringes important for lizard burying in highly mobile sand?"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Peng","family":"Zheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tao","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7227-7728","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lei","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"546_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"430","DOI":"10.1017\/S0094837300025495","volume":"7","author":"GV Lauder","year":"1981","unstructured":"Lauder GV.
