- Sacrifice Periphery To Defend Core
- In biology it is autotomy — a lizard shedding its tail — and apoptosis at tissue margins to contain infection.
This sourceDocuments autotomy (tail shedding) as deliberate sacrifice of a non-essential part to preserve the organism; apoptosis at tissue margins is the cellular analogue.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract states caudal autotomy is the ability to shed the tail in lizards as a defence against predation; it says nothing about apoptosis at tissue margins.
“Caudal autotomy, the ability to shed the tail, is common in lizards as a response to attempted predation.”
- In biology it is autotomy — a lizard shedding its tail — and apoptosis at tissue margins to contain infection.
Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
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.
