Dr. Timothy J. Pedley accepted the invitation on 9 November 2007 (self-imposed deadline: 9 May 2008).

This article will briefly cover: A. Internal, physiological, fluid dynamics, concerned mostly with blood flow and respiration. B. External fluid dynamics, i.e. the interaction of living organisms with their fluid environment. This will mostly concern swimming and flying, especially fish swimming and the individualk and collective behaviour of swimming micro-organisms.
