  Gower (2000) argues that structural realism seems less natural a position when applied to theories from outside of physics. Mark Newman (2005) argues that structural realism only applies to the mathematical sciences in therefore cannot account for retention of theoretical commitments across theory change in, for example, biology. On the other hand, Harold Kincaid (2008) and Ross (2008) defend structural realist approaches to the social sciences, as do Ladyman and Ross (2007). French (2011) considers the implications of ontic structural realism for the ontology of biology.
