Excerpt from Compensatory Regulation: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Ogden Graduate School of Science in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of Zoölogy
A disturbance of the normal relations of the parts, such as is brought about by the removal of one of them or by the changing of the external environment, must lead to changes which if the system is not too rigid can give important light upon the normal relations of the parts. This is the fundamental consideration which lies at the base of all experimental biology and m the broad sense of the term all such studies are studies in compensatory regulation.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating area of biological development through the lens of compensatory regulation. The author presents a collection of experiments that explore how organisms adapt and change in response to alterations in their environment or internal conditions, focusing primarily on the regeneration of lost body parts. The experiments in this book span a wide range of animal species, from the simple leaf structure of plants to the regeneration of complex organs in marine invertebrates, providing a comprehensive examination of the underlying principles of compensatory regulation. Through these experiments, the author sheds light on the intricate relationship between different parts of an organism and their remarkable ability to influence each other's development and function. By demonstrating the profound impact of compensatory regulation on the form and function of living organisms, this book deepens our understanding of the fundamental principles governing biological development.
