The emergence of comparative biomechanics

Steven Vogel1
Department of Biology, Box 90338, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27708, USA

Correspondence: 1E-mail: svogel{at}duke.edu

In recent years, comparative biomechanics, while anything but a new subject, has by an odd concatenation of circumstances emerged from obscurity to become a widely recognized and active area of biology—remarkably diverse in questions asked and techniques employed but with clear intellectual coherence. In North America the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology currently represents the center of gravity in this field.

This paper was invited as a synthetic historical treatment of the field of comparative biomechanics in response to a series of symposia on this topic honoring Professor Vogel at the annual meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology, Phoenix, Arizona, USA, January 3–7, 2007.
