The new growth of seedlings and community assembly process is known as regeneration in ecology. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] As ecological succession sets in, a forest will slowly regenerate towards its former state within the succession ( climax or any intermediate stage), provided that all outer parameters (climate, soil fertility availability of nutrients ...
The classical example of morphallaxis is that of the Cnidarian hydra, where when the animal is severed in two (by actively cutting it with, for example, a surgical knife) the remaining severed sections form two fully functional and independent hydra. The notable feature of morphallaxis is that a large majority of regenerated tissue comes from ...

In the Philosophie zoologique, Lamarck proposed that species could acquire new characteristics from influences in their environment, in two rules that he named as laws.
