Abraham Trembley (3 September 1710 12 May 1784 Geneva) was a Swiss naturalist. He is best known for being the first to study freshwater polyps or hydra and for being among the first to develop experimental zoology. His mastery of experimental method has led some historians of science to credit him as the "father of biology". While Trembley thought he had discovered a new species, Leeuwenhoek had in fact first published on Hydra in 1702-1703 volume of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, describing them as a type of "animalculum". In his work Leeuwenhoek clearly described the process of budding, as well as tentacles contractility and the presence of cnidocyte batteries on tentacles. Trembley's findings were published in a 1744 book, Mémoires pour servir à l'histoire d'un genre de polypes d'eau douce, translated into German in 1791 as Abhandlungen zur Geschichte einer Polypenart des süssen Wassers. Some attribute Trembley as being the first to study stem cells, although he obviously did not refer to them as such. Trembley did however make note of their incredible regenerative capacity.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Explore the remarkable world of polyps through the groundbreaking observations of a pioneering naturalist. At a time when the very nature of life was shrouded in mystery, the author embarks on a series of groundbreaking experiments, challenging conventional wisdom and forever altering our understanding of these enigmatic creatures. The book delves into the unique characteristics of polyps, revealing their astonishing ability to regenerate lost body parts and even reproduce asexually. Through a meticulous study of their behaviors, the author sheds light on their complex feeding mechanisms, revealing their intricate relationships with other organisms. Far from mere scientific curiosities, the author's discoveries hold profound implications for our understanding of the diversity of life on Earth. This book invites readers to witness the birth of modern biology, as we unravel the secrets of these fascinating creatures and gain a deeper appreciation for the wonders of the natural world.

The above work records how he cut hydras into several pieces, producing new individuals, and how, by cutting up the latter, he obtained a third generation. His experiments were of great importance in the study of the regeneration of lost parts, he was the first to make permanent grafts and to witness cell division?

Trembley (1710-1784) di origine svizzera ma formatosi in Olanda a contatto con gli scienziati dell'Università di Leida. Le sue ricerche sull'Idra lo resero famoso introducendolo presso la Società Reale e gli fecero godere il favore del mondo nobiliare. Fu nel giugno del 1740 che Trembley ebbe la sua prima opportunità di studiare l'Idra che scoprì osservando alcune piante acquatiche. Considerandola essa stessa un organismo vegetale, la divise in due parti per vedere se esse si rigeneravano. I due pezzi tagliati svilupparono nei giorni seguenti le caratteristiche di due organismi tentacolati assolutamente uguali. Dubbioso sulla reale appartenenza dell'essere in questione, sottopose la scoperta ad alcuni scienziati che ne confermarono la natura animale. Più tardi, approfondendo le sue ricerche sull'Idra, scoprì che era possibile realizzare anche l'esperimento inverso, cioè trasformare due Idre in una. Il risultato delle due ricerche fu la presente opera della quale uscirono due edizioni nello stesso anno: la prima, Leida, Verbeek, 1744, 1 volume in-4° con 13 tavole, la seconda, sempre del 1744, Paris, Durand, 2 volumi in-8° con 20 tavole ripiegate (7 doppie).
