Research reveals a set of cases where physical laws constrain the trajectories and end points of the evolutionary process. Each chapter deals with the underlying physics first, then examines the biological responses to selection. Examples of convergent evolution analyse the adaptation during the approach towards a physically defined optimum.
Recent research in biomechanics is increasingly revealing a set of special cases where universal physical laws constrain the trajectories and, more controversially, even the endpoints of the evolutionary process. For the first time this book brings…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Research reveals a set of cases where physical laws constrain the trajectories and end points of the evolutionary process. Each chapter deals with the underlying physics first, then examines the biological responses to selection. Examples of convergent evolution analyse the adaptation during the approach towards a physically defined optimum.
Recent research in biomechanics is increasingly revealing a set of special cases where universal physical laws constrain the trajectories and, more controversially, even the endpoints of the evolutionary process. For the first time this book brings together a broad range of examples from the latest research in evolutionary biomechanics to examine this phenomenon.

Autorenporträt
Graham Taylor is Associate Professor of Mathematical Biology at the University of Oxford, Department of Zoology, with a particular focus on the dynamics and control of flight, and a strong interest in evolutionary theory and animal behaviour. Adrian Thomas is Professor of Biomechanics at the University of Oxford, Department of Zoology, and works on Biomechanics and Evolution, with a particular focus on animal flight and aerodynamics. He does aerodynamics consultancy work with drone and paraglider manufacturers and flies the wings he helps design.
