  2. Parthenogenesis in squamates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis_in_squamates

    Parthenogenesis is a mode of asexual reproduction in which offspring are produced by females without the genetic contribution of a male. Among all the sexual vertebrates, the only examples of true parthenogenesis, in which all-female populations reproduce without the involvement of males, are found in squamate reptiles (snakes and lizards).

  3. Parthenogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis

    Parthenogenesis occurs naturally in some plants, algae, invertebrate animal species (including nematodes, some tardigrades, water fleas, some scorpions, aphids, some mites, some bees, some Phasmatodea, and parasitic wasps), and a few vertebrates, such as some fish, amphibians, and reptiles. This type of reproduction has been induced ...

  4. Parthenogenesis in amphibians - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis_in_Amphibians

    Parthenogenesis is a form of reproduction where eggs develop without fertilization, resulting in unisexual species. This phenomenon is closely related with reproductive modes such as hybridogenesis, where fertilization occurs, but the paternal DNA is not passed on.

  5. Animal embryonic development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_embryonic_development

    Fertilization is the fusion of gametes to produce a new organism. In animals, the process involves a sperm fusing with an ovum, which eventually leads to the development of an embryo. Depending on the animal species, the process can occur within the body of the female in internal fertilization, or outside in the case of external fertilization.

  6. Ovoviviparity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovoviviparity

    The characteristic quivering abdomen caused by movement of tadpoles within a pregnant female Limnonectes larvaepartus.. Ovoviviparity, ovovivipary, ovivipary, or aplacental viviparity is a term used as a "bridging" form of reproduction between egg-laying oviparous and live-bearing viviparous reproduction.

    Biology of the Reptilia is an online copy of the full text of a 22-volume 13,000-page summary of the state of research of reptiles. HerpMapper is a database of reptile and amphibian sightings; Amphibian and Reptile Atlas of Peninsular California, San Diego Natural History Museum; A Primer on Reptiles and Amphibians; Field Herp Forum

  8. ZW sex-determination system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZW_sex-determination_system

    The ZW sex-determination system is a chromosomal system that determines the sex of offspring in birds, some fish and crustaceans such as the giant river prawn, some insects (including butterflies and moths), the schistosome family of flatworms, and some reptiles, e.g. majority of snakes, lacertid lizards and monitors, including Komodo dragons.
