Arthropods are known to regenerate appendages following loss or autotomy. The Round Island skink is a species capable of caudal autotomy. Some diplurans have the ability to shed their cerci if necessary (autotomy). If attacked, it sheds tentacles in a process known as autotomy. The immediate cause of the autotomy is not always apparent. A rare case of such autotomy is reported from Vietnam. He thought the arms might be shed by autotomy. All species of true honey bees have this form of stinger autotomy. Caudal autotomy in lizards takes two forms. Asexual reproduction in starfish takes place by fission or through autotomy of arms. Many lizards, including geckos and skinks, are capable of shedding their tails (autotomy). Like lizards, some species are able to shed their tails (autotomy). Some salamander species use tail autotomy to escape predators. Like many other lizard species, side-blotched lizards use tail autotomy as an escape mechanism. Some species can intentionally reproduce in this manner through autotomy.
