Ecomechanics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ecomechanics is a biomechanic scientific discipline studying the mechanisms underlying organisms' interactions with their environment. It incorporates elements of ecology and comparative physiology, as an outgrowth of biomechanics.[1] The term was originally coined by Dr. M. A. R. Koehl[citation needed]. The field gained its own recognition as the result of a working group at Friday Harbor Laboratories in September 2009[citation needed].
