Bertram Index . 330 $a"Understanding Mammalian Locomotion will formally introduce the emerging perspective of collision dynamics in mammalian terrestrial locomotion and explain how it influences the interpretation of form and functional capabilities. The objective is to bring the reader interested in the function and mechanics of mammalian terrestrial locomotion to a sophisticated conceptual understanding of the relevant mechanics and the current debate ongoing in the field"--$cProvided by publisher. 330 $a"This book will formally introduce the immerging perspective of collision dynamics in mammalian terrestrial locomotion and explain how it influences the interpretation of form and functional capabilities"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aAnimal locomotion 606 $aMammals$xPhysiology 606 $aLocomotion$xRegulation$xPhysiological aspects 615 0$aAnimal locomotion. 615 0$aMammals$xPhysiology. 615 0$aLocomotion$xRegulation$xPhysiological aspects. 676 $a591.5/7 686 $aSCI008000$2bisacsh 700 $aBertram$b John Edward Arthur$f1954-$01593989 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821620903321 996 $aUnderstanding mammalian locomotion$93914376 997 $aUNINA
