A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition. Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. The developmental process by which an organism emerges from a surrounding protective structure such as an egg or pupa case. The emergence of an immature organism from a protective structure. The specific actions or reactions of an organism during the emergence from an egg shell. In Drosophila for example, the larva swings its head reiteratively through a semicircular arc, using its mouth hooks to tear apart the chorion in front of it and thus free itself from within the egg shell. The hatching of the cellular blastocyst from the zona pellucida. The biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a multicellular organism over time from an initial condition (e.g. a zygote or a young adult) to a later condition (e.g. a multicellular animal or an aged adult).
