  2. Regeneration (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneration_(biology)

    Echinoderms (such as the sea star), crayfish, many reptiles, and amphibians exhibit remarkable examples of tissue regeneration. The case of autotomy, for example, serves as a defensive function as the animal detaches a limb or tail to avoid capture. After the limb or tail has been autotomized, cells move into action and the tissues will regenerate.

  3. Regeneration in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneration_in_humans

    For example, the body regenerates a full bone within ten years, while non-injured skin tissue is regenerated within two weeks. [2] With injured tissue, the body usually has a different response. This emergency response usually involves building a degree of scar tissue over a time period longer than a regenerative response, as has been proven ...

    An example of such an initiative is the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment [32] whose objective is "to assess the consequences of ecosystem change for human well-being and the scientific basis for action needed to enhance the conservation and sustainable use of those systems and their contribution to human well-being".

  5. Cellular stress response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_stress_response

    [3] Stress proteins can exhibit widely varied functions within a cell- both during normal life processes and in response to stress. For example, studies in Drosophila have indicated that when DNA encoding certain stress proteins exhibit mutation defects, the resulting cells have impaired or lost abilities such as normal mitotic division and ...

    In this sense, "recovery" can be considered a synonymous term. This also sometimes includes patient care after a major surgery, [2] [3] under which they are required to visit the doctor for regular check-ups. [4] [5] Convalescent care facilities are sometimes recognized by the acronym TCF (Transitional Convalescent Facilities). [6]

  7. Mark and recapture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_and_recapture

    Mark and recapture is a method commonly used in ecology to estimate an animal population's size where it is impractical to count every individual. [1] A portion of the population is captured, marked, and released.

  8. Stress (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(biology)

    For example, students who are taking exams show weaker immune responses if they also report stress due to daily hassles. [45] While responses to acute stressors typically do not impose a health burden on young, healthy individuals, chronic stress in older or unhealthy individuals may have long-term effects that are detrimental to health. [46]

  9. Habitat destruction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitat_destruction

    [27]: 2321 For example, the decline of sea ice in the Arctic has been accelerating during the early twenty‐first century, with a decline rate of 4.7% per decade (it has declined over 50% since the first satellite records). [28] [29] [30] One well known example of a species affected is the polar bear, whose habitat in the Arctic is threatened ...
