Biomass Overcompensation

open access: yes, 2013
This chapter investigates the necessary conditions for the biomass in particular size ranges of a population to increase in response to an increase in mortality, and how the overcompensation comes about through a change in the population energetics. Ultimately, this overcompensation in stage-specific biomass solely results from the interplay between ...

Hormesis and Hydra Effects Revealed by Intraspecific Overcompensation Models and Dose–Response Curves [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Society Interface
Overcompensation, defined as recovery beyond a baseline state, arises from both hormetic and hydra effects, illustrating adaptive responses to stress. The overcompensation framework of a re-evaluated fishery resource management model was examined through

Overcompensation Stimulation: A Mechanism for Hormetic Effects

Critical Reviews in Toxicology, 2001
Whether hormetic responses result from a direct or an overcompensation type of stimulatory response has been an unresolved and contentious issue in both radiation and chemical toxicology. The goal of the present article is to identify numerous examples of overcompensation stimulation in the biological/biomedical literature and to evaluate their ...

Rationalization, Overcompensation and the Escalation of Corruption in Organizations

open access: yesJournal of Business Ethics, 2008
An important area of business ethics research focuses on how otherwise normal and law-abiding individuals can engage in acts of corruption. Key in this literature is the concept of rationalization. This is where individuals attempt to justify past and future corrupt deeds to themselves and others.

Overcompensation by severance payments

open access: yesApplied Economics, 2006
An important aim of severance payments is to reduce the economic disadvantages of dismissed employees. However, it may well be the case that a considerable fraction of employees is actually better off, if they are re-employed shortly after their dismissal. This is the first attempt to estimate the relevance of overcompensation by severance payments. It

The Myth of the Extra Mile: Psychological Processes and Neural Mechanisms Underlying Overcompensation Effects

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Social Psychology, 2022
Trust violations regularly occur under the form of distributive fairness violations. In response to such violations, the transgressor can signal his or her willingness to go the "extra mile" by compensating the victim beyond the inflicted damage, which ...

Stage-Specific Overcompensation, the Hydra Effect, and the Failure to Eradicate an Invasive Predator [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
As biological invasions continue to increase globally, eradication programs have been undertaken at significant cost, often without consideration of relevant ecological theory.

Overcompensation and population cycles in an ungulate

Nature, 1992
Although theoretical studies show that overcompensatory density-dependent mechanisms can potentially generate regular or chaotic fluctuations in animal numbers, the majority of realistic single-species models of invertebrate populations are not overcompensatory enough to cause sustained population cycles.

Overcompensation Syndromes

Southern Medical Journal, 1981
As a result of severe injury or illness, a complex series of metabolic changes takes place in the body to enable it to cope with the stress and recover. Although these changes are beneficial and necessary, at times they are more extensive than desirable and may result in metabolic alkalosis, hypertension, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and ...
