Induced ovulation occurs in some animal species that do not ovulate cyclically or spontaneously. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Ovulation can be induced by externally-derived stimuli during or before mating , such as sperm , pheromones , or mechanical stimulation during copulation .
The vicuña (Lama vicugna) or vicuna [3] (both / v ɪ ˈ k uː n j ə /, very rarely spelled vicugna, its former genus name) [4] [5] is one of the two wild South American camelids, which live in the high alpine areas of the Andes; the other camelid is the guanaco, which lives at lower elevations.
Protists are a large group of diverse eukaryotic microorganisms, mainly unicellular animals and plants, that do not form tissues. [8] The earliest eukaryotes were likely protists. Mating and sexual reproduction are widespread among extant eukaryotes including protists such as Paramecium and Chlamydomonas.
Guanacos live in herds composed of females, their young, and a dominant male. Bachelor males form separate herds. While reproductive groups tend to remain small, often containing no more than 10 adults, bachelor herds may contain as many as 50 males. They can run at 56 km/h (35 mph) per hour, often over steep and rocky terrain. [21]

In a paired mating system (one male mates with one female, such as in clownfish or moray eels) the male can only fertilize one batch of eggs, whereas the female needs only a small male to fertilize her batch of eggs. so the larger she is, the more eggs she'll be able to produce and have fertilized.
Natal homing, or natal philopatry, is the homing process by which some adult animals that have migrated away from their juvenile habitats return to their birthplace to reproduce. This process is primarily used by aquatic animals such as sea turtles and salmon , although some migratory birds and mammals also practice similar reproductive behaviors.
