Grene, M. 1987. Hierarchies in biology. Am. Sci. 75:504–510 (Sept.–Oct.). The term “hierarchy” is used in many different senses in biology. The author points out that current evolutionary theory carries the hierarchical concept beyond the Darwinian restriction to the two levels of gene and organism.

McGowan, C. 1994. Diatoms to dinosaurs. Washington, D.C., Island Press. The theme of this engaging book is the influence of size and scale on how animals move through their environment, whether land, water, or air.
McGowan, C. 1999. A practical guide to vertebrate mechanics. New York, Cambridge University Press. Using many examples from his earlier book, Diatoms to dinosaurs, the author describes principles of biomechanics that underlie functional anatomy. Includes practical experiments and laboratory exercises.
