Regeneration, the replacement of lost body parts, is widespread yet highly variable among
animals. Explaining this variation remains a major challenge in biology. Great strides have …

Temperature affects biological functions by altering reaction rates. Physiological rates
usually double to treble for every 10° C rise, and 1–4 fold encompasses normal biological …

Widespread recognition of the importance of biological studies at large spatial and temporal
scales, particularly in the face of many of the most pressing issues facing humanity, has …

There is great concern over the future effects of ocean acidification on marine organisms,
especially for skeletal calcification, yet little is known of natural variation in skeleton size and …

Extreme biomimetics is the search for natural sources of engineering inspiration that lead to
solutions that are well outside the human comfort zone (temperature, pH, salinity, pressure …

Which genes and gene signaling pathways mediate regenerative processes? In recent
years, multiple studies, using a variety of animal models, have aimed to answer this …

The evolution of regenerative capacity in multicellular animals represents one of the most
complex and intriguing problems in biology. How could such a seemingly advantageous trait …

We compared effects of exposure to predict near-future (2100) ocean acidification (OA; pH
7.7) and normal seawater (Control; pH 8.1) on immune and stress responses in the adult …

This brief review considers the question of why some animals can regenerate and others
cannot and elaborates the opposing views that have been expressed in the past on this …

Echinoderms represent a phylum with exceptional regenerative capabilities that can
reconstruct both external appendages and internal organs. Mechanistic understanding of …
