...M. A. R. Koehl ABSTRACT Organisms are subject to the laws of physics, so comparative biomechanics is a powerful approach for identifying basic principles that apply across taxa of how morphology affects performance of mechanical functions such as locomotion, feeding or resisting damage.

... and contraction systems. Thus, our detailed knowledge of muscle mechanics is largely based on high-resolution experiments, performed several decades ago, on isolated intact frog muscle fibers ( Edman, 1979 ; Gordon et al., 1966b ).
