Regeneration occurs at many different levels in nature, from individual organisms (notably earthworms and hydra), through communities of microbes, to ecosystems such as forests. Researchers in the life sciences and the history and philosophy of science are collaborating to explore how the processes of repair and recovery observed at these different scales are related.
再生现象发生在自然界的许多不同层次,从个体生物(尤其是蚯蚓和水螅),到微生物群落,再到森林等生态系统。生命科学研究人员以及科学史和科学哲学研究人员正在合作,探索在这些不同尺度上观察到的修复和恢复过程是如何相关的。
