- Unity Test
- In biology, defining an individual organism is recurrently contested for colonial species, symbiotic associations, and modular organisms, each definition resting on a different unity test — metabolic integration, reproductive unity, genetic unity, behavioral unity.
This sourceSurveys the competing unity criteria — metabolic, genetic, reproductive, immunological — by which colonial, symbiotic, and modular organisms are individuated.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not confirmed. The DOI recorded for this work did not resolve when it was last checked, so it is shown above but not linked. The citation may still be sound; the recorded identifier is not. Flagged for repair.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
