These transitions, called &#8216;molts&#8217;, are when animals cast off rigid skin at key points in their development in order to grow.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not yet known why the <i>Issus<\/i> loses its hind-leg gears on reaching adulthood. The scientists point out that a problem with any gear system is that if one tooth on the gear breaks, the effectiveness of the whole mechanism is damaged. While gear-teeth breakage in nymphs could be repaired in the next molt, any damage in adulthood remains permanent.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"mlt-block image-block\">\n<div id=\"jwVID14701\" class=\"jwplayer jw-reset jw-skin-vapor jw-stretch-uniform jw-flag-aspect-mode jw-state-idle jw-flag-user-inactive\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<div class=\"jw-aspect jw-reset\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"jw-media jw-reset\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"jw-preview jw-reset\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"jw-overlays jw-reset\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"jw-controls jw-reset\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"afs_ads\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"image-block-caption\">Spontaneous jump of a nymph viewed from the side.

The bigger adult trochantera might allow them to can create enough friction to power the enormous leaps from leaf to leaf without the need for intermeshing gear teeth to drive it, say the scientists.<\/p>\n<p>Each gear strip in the juvenile <i>Issus<\/i> was around 400 micrometres long and had between 10 to 12 teeth, with both sides of the gear in each leg containing the same number \u2013 giving a gearing ratio of 1:1.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike man-made gears, each gear tooth is asymmetrical and curved towards the point where the cogs interlock \u2013 as man-made gears need a symmetric shape to work in both rotational directions, whereas the <i>Issus<\/i> gears are only powering one way to launch the animal forward.<\/p>\n<p>While there are examples of apparently ornamental cogs in the animal kingdom &#8211; such as on the shell of the cog wheel turtle or the back of the wheel bug &#8211; gears with a functional role either remain elusive or have been rendered defunct by evolution.<\/p>\n<p>The <i>Issus<\/i> is the first example of a natural cog mechanism with an observable function, say the scientists.<\/p>\n<p class=\"news-relevant\"><a id=\"inl-rel-href\" href=\"http:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2013-09-functioning-mechanical-gears-nature.html#\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"toolsicon ic-rel\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.phys.org\/tmpl\/v5\/img\/1x1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"14\" height=\"16\" \/><\/a> <b><\/b><\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sou:Rce :\u00a0http:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2013-09-functioning-mechanical-gears-nature.html Functioning &#8216;mechanical gears&#8217; seen in nature for the first time September 12, 2013 This image shows cog wheels connecting the hind legs of the plant hopper, Issus.
