Title: Ecology and biomechanics
Description: This work demonstrates how biomechanics can provide novel insights into long standing ecological and evolutionary questions. Combining approaches from various disciplines, it covers theoretical and practical approaches involving research on plants and animals, as well as interactions between the two. While it emphasizes distinct organism-environment relationships, the book also includes a few examples achieving wider application across entire ecosystems. The authors pave the way for further research by demonstrating how we can achieve an entire paradigm shift in our perception of living organisms when two seemingly disparate subdisciplines within the field of biology are creatively combined.
