autotomy's Usage Examples:

Another adaptation associated with intravertebral autotomy is that skin flaps fold over the wound at the site of autotomy to readily seal the wound, which can minimize infection at the autotomy site.

This autotomy expels internal parasites.

Many species have evolved specific behaviors after autotomy, such as decreased activity, in order to compensate for negative consequences such as depleted energy resources.

InvertebratesOver 200 species of invertebrates are capable of using autotomy as an avoidance or protective behaviour.

after direct or indirect contact, including thanatosis, freezing, bobbing, autotomy, fleeing, stridulation, retaliation, and chemical secretions.

Two squamate species from the Jurassic period, Eichstaettisaurus schroederi and Ardeosaurus digitatellus, were identified as having intervertebral autotomy planes, and these species were placed in the squamate taxonomy as being an ancestor of current existing geckos.

The second form of caudal autotomy is intravertebral autotomy, in which there are zones of weakness, fracture planes across each vertebra in the mid-part of the tail.

MechanismThe technical term for this ability to drop the tail is caudal autotomy.

During limb regeneration species in both taxa form a blastema following autotomy with regeneration of the excised limb occurring during proecdysis.

contact, including thanatosis, freezing, bobbing, autotomy, fleeing, stridulation, retaliation, and chemical secretions.

These slugs can self-amputate (autotomy) a portion of their tail.

Survivors (such as the comatulids) could swim or crawl, behaved nocturnally or had autotomy (the ability.

In most lizards that sacrifice the tail in this manner, breakage occurs only when the tail is grasped with sufficient force, but some animals, such as some species of geckos, can perform true autotomy, throwing off the tail when sufficiently stressed, such as when attacked by ants.
