note = {Flowing water can develop an immense force pushing on animals inhabiting the surface of stones in running waters. These animals have developed attachment devices supporting them to maintain their position against current. Some of these attachment devices (e.g. claws, suckers) have been described to require a certain kind of surface roughness. In this thesis, the interplay of attachment devices and surface texture of the hard bottom substrates in running waters was investigated in detail for selected animals of the torrential fauna using scanning electron microscopy, videotaping, attachment experiments, friction measurements, white light profilometry and replication techniques. Moreover, a quantitative description of the range of surface roughness of stones commonly occurring in running waters is given first time.},
