提出了结构形态学的定义,并阐述了结构形态学与功能形态学和生物力学的关系。从韦伯引入这个术语和形态分析开始,它被描述为形态发生和系统发育因子与生物学作用之间的妥协(Seilacher)。强调了生物力学在形态发生过程中的重要性。争论提供了进化不是摆在首位的故事,生态适应,但建设性的改进的历史。自然选择不仅影响保护和物质和能量的获取,而且影响生物体物质和能量消耗和转换机制的经济性和最优性。
A definition of constructional morphology is offered and its relations to functional morphology and biomechanics are described. Starting from the introduction of this term and kind of morphological analysis by Weber, it is described as a compromise between a morphogenetic and a phylogenetic factor and the biological role (Seilacher). The importance of biomechanics in morphogenetic processes is emphasized. Arguments are offered that evolution is not in the first place the story of ecological adaptations but the history of constructional improvement. Natural selection has impact not only on protection and matter and energy acquisition but also on the economy and optimality of the matter and energy-consuming and -converting machinery of the organism.
