title: The emergence of comparative biomechanics.
abstract: 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.
