Environmental
& Structural
Systems
The
Environmental & Structural Systems thematic area focuses
on the function and evolution of organisms in their physiochemical
and biotic environments. Included are studies of physiological
ecology, functional morphology, animal sensation and movement,
molecular bases of tissue biomechanical properties, and environmental
genomics. Proposals that include computational or engineering
approaches in any of these areas of biology are encouraged.
