Ecology and Biomechanics 'A Mechanical Approach to the Ecology of Animals and Plants'

Ecology and Biomechanics: A Mechanical Approach to the Ecology of Animals and Plants offers a collection of state-of-the-art papers, that ingeniously demonstrates how biomechanics can provide novel insights into long standing ecological and evolutionary questions. Combining approaches from various disciplines, the manuscript covers subjects that encompass theoretical concepts and practical approaches involving research on both plants and animals, as well as interactions between the two. Although most of the examples emphasize distinct organism-environment relationships, the book also includes a few examples that span larger temporal and spatial scales, achieving wider application across entire ecosystems.
