Animal Locomotion By Andrew Biewener And Sheila Patek Book Cover

By Andrew Biewener , Sheila Patek

Animal Locomotion explores the remarkable biomechanical and physiological systems that enable animals to move across land, water, and air. Through a comparative and integrative approach, the book combines mathematics, physics, and biological principles to explain the mechanics, energetics, and neural control of movement.

It integrates biomechanics with muscle physiology, energetics, and neuromuscular control, examining both classic and modern research methods. The second edition includes updated material on non-vertebrate locomotor systems, bio-inspired robotics, and evolutionary perspectives on locomotor performance.

The Animal Locomotion PDF edition provides a structured framework for understanding movement across scales and environments, making it an essential reference for students and researchers in biomechanics, physiology, and comparative biology.
