There are some core things about the mythical creatures I wish Meyer would have gegeben an actual explaination for:
Vampires
1. Turning into bats
She could have explained it as bats are attracted to vampires, but she choose not to adress it at all.
2. Sleeping in a coffin
How about that having something to do with them faking their own death oder something?
3. Lack of Fangs
An evolution over time to adapt.
4. Sunlight
Related to the fact Vampire are considered to be connected to the devil.
Werewolves
1. Full-Moon
They meet at the full-moon.
2. Their Anger Issues (yes, I know that some of the Wölfe have this)
It could have been explained as a reaction to the moons phases.
3. Pack- Mind
Evolved trait oder even a gift from the spirits.

A whole lot of vampire stories don't mention coffins at all.
There are multiple vampire stories that include vampires without fangs.
There are other vampire stories that include vampires who react to the sun.
(Out of curiosity, how many vampire stories are you familiar with?)
I'd give specific examples, but it would require a little research that I am not able to do at this very moment. I can provide them upon request, though.
They are shape shifters, not werewolves
.They are shape shifters, they are not tied to the moon.
They have this trait because the spirit warriors were able to communicate while outside of their bodies.
(Simply reading the series would provide you with these answers)
I know there are a lot of books about vampires that don't have all these qualities, but they at least have explaination to why or one of the qualities. Twilight has next none of the same qualities besides blood drinking. There should be some way of explaining why, I would even accept her saying it's a different breed or branch of vampires, but she doesn't.
It would only make sense that the same applies to all the other vampire stories that don't provide all the answers in the world (Which is likely close to all of them).
Unliess this is a special preference specially reserved for Twilight. You know, holding it to a higher standard.
Because she created a new brand of people, I expect her to know how they work and to show the reader all she has created.
But the truth is, there was biology in the series.
Again, this is all your personal preferences. Instead of wanting books to change to fit your desires, why don't you find a book that does?
If you can't find one, write one. It's pretty obvious that you have ideas about what you think books should and should not be.
Everything in the world can't please YOU (because "there's not enough biology" is not a common complaint). Twilight doesn't have everything you want. I'm sure a lot of books don't. Why is Twilight so special?
I'm not saying this as a way to just bash twilight, I have friends that enjoy the books and don't think much of it. I just think she would have gotten less hate and criticism if she had either used one of the widely accepted views of vampires or explained her breed more well. She even could have written a companion explaining it and it would have helped.
You seem to come at me like you think I only hold Twilight to this but I don't. Whenever I read a story that differs from myths with no real explaination I point it out and try to fill in what the author left blank. Twilight isn't the only one but it's kind of the point of this spot.
And from what I've seen 'not enough biology' is a main complaint from people I know about the series. Are they dead? Are they living? Are certain parts of them living? How can that happen? These are all questions I hear from even fans of the Twilight books when they are late in high school.
I wonder these things too, and do far no one can explain it. Which makes it seem like there is no answer. If you know an essay about it or something ( I'm being serious) send a link, but from what I understand no one thought it through.
Regarding the sunlight thing, that's briefly explained as just something humans have assumed because vampires avoid direct sunlight (or the shining will betray them). The Short Second Life Of Bree Tanner (a spin-off novella) also suggests the idea that the shining could be mistaken for fire by a human seeing it from a distance.
