1. • • In biology, the measurement of a part or an aspect of an organism may be performed by the commensurability with a physical object, for example, the length (in meters) of this organism, here and now, measured in physical units. However, this alone is only sufficient to know if we can put it ”as is” in a box of a given length.

   What is biological measurement?

   • The concept of biological measurement which we propose accommodates simultaneously the organisms or cells and their part or aspect of interest which may be quantified. In our framework, a measurement is relative to a history and context. To develop reproducible experiments, biologists observe specimens with a shared past.

   What are the principles of biological measurement?

   • The text proposes the following principles for biological measurement: Measurement has a synchronic dimension for the aspect or part of interest (referred to as the 'Data acquisition' section).

   What is measurement in molecular biology?

   • In the literature, there is at least one such account: following the informational metaphor, molecular biology often considers measurement as a classical measurement applied to finite, entirely discrete features: the sequences of nucleotides.

   Does biology need a measurement theory?

   • Biologists often use physical concepts, and measurement is no exception. The notion of measurement of classical mechanics is widely used in biology. Moreover, Wagner ( 2010) and Houle et al. ( 2011) advocate the use of measurement theory in biology. This setting leads us to inquire whether biology requires a distinct notion of measurement.

   How is biological activity measured?

   • Biological activity always depends on the dose given to the living organism, so it is logical to show either beneficial or adverse effects that range from low to high. Absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion are the main action used to measure biological activity. 2.1. Introduction

   What is a quantitative measurement of biological materials?

   • The quantitative measurement of biological materials by physical and chemical means is sometimes used to infer or predict biological activity, although the measurements themselves provide no information about the activity. For example, macromolecules such as proteins may be chemically measurable, but functionally inactive.

   6 days ago · In biology, the measured features of organisms or cells, such as the concentration of molecules or the shape of tissues, are measured in organisms or cells and are generally produced and maintained by them (Mossio et al., 2016; Montévil & Mossio, 2015).

   Apr 27, 2019 · To describe our theoretical notion of biological measurement, we rely mainly on the principle of variation (Montévil et al. 2016). This principle builds on evolutionary biology and states that biological objects can vary in a stronger sense than objects described by physical theories.

   Jan 1, 2022 · Biological activity is the ability of a particular molecular entity to bring about a specific biological change on the target whose biological effect is to be effected. The effectiveness and concentration of the biological activity needed to impact the effect is measured in several ways.

   In this review, we present the basic ideas of measurement theory and show how it applies to theoretical as well as empirical work. We then consider examples of empirical and theoretical evolutionary studies whose meaningfulness have been compromised by violations of measurement-theoretic principles.
