Mechanics of animal movement
Mechanics is the science of structure and movement that engineers need when they design things like bridges, aeroplanes or machines. It is equally applicable to the structure and movement of organisms, in the branch of science known as biomechanics (Box 1). Biomechanics is concerned with humans, animals, plants and individual cells. Some of its practitioners are motivated principally by curiosi...

متن کاملStochastic modelling of animal movement.
Modern animal movement modelling derives from two traditions. Lagrangian models, based on random walk behaviour, are useful for multi-step trajectories of single animals. Continuous Eulerian models describe expected behaviour, averaged over stochastic realizations, and are usefully applied to ensembles of individuals. We illustrate three modern research arenas. (i) Models of home-range formatio...
متن کاملThe Philosophy behind the Movement: Animal Studies versus Animal Rights
Recently, many pro-animal thinkers have expressed critical views on the animal rights movement. In particular, the movement has been criticized for being philosophically uninformed, politically regressive, and practically unpersuasive. This paper investigates these criticisms and seeks to map out the philosophy behind the grassroots animal rights movement, specifically. It concludes that the cr...
متن کاملAnimal movement, mechanical tuning and coupled systems.
Over the past two decades, there has been a growing interest in developing predictive models of animal movement and force generation in fluids. In a departure from past studies that have asked how prescribed motions of a propulsor (wing or fin) generate lift and thrust during swimming and flying, we are increasingly interested in predicting the propulsor's movement as well as the forces generat...
