Recruitment (biology)
Three biological processes / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When discussing population dynamics, behavioral ecology, and cell biology, recruitment refers to several different biological processes. In population dynamics, recruitment is the process by which new individuals are added to a population, whether by birth and maturation or by immigration.[1] When discussing behavioral ecology and animal communication, recruitment is communication that is intended to add members of a group to specific tasks.[2] Finally, when discussing cell biology, recruitment is the process by which cells are selected for certain tasks.[3]
