Amphibian reproduction has more in common with that of fish than it does of mammals or even reptiles. While all of these animals reproduce sexually (meaning that the species consists of males and females and mating involves the fetilization of eggs by sperm), reptiles and mammals reproduce throu...
Injuries and Behavioral Changes Such human interactions often result in injuries, entanglements, and behavioral changes in marine mammals, further jeopardizing their reproductive success. Navigating Troubled Waters: Why Robust Data Metrics Matter in Marine Ecology Climate change looms large, leaving no asp...
While only occurring once a year, it can be difficult finding the time to commit to an annual physical with your primary care doctor. What's more, if you do not have health insurance, it can be difficult justifying spending the money on a visit if you don't necessarily feel unwell. A ...

While mating in sharks has been rarely observed, most species do it while they swim parallel to each other and the male inserts a clasper into female’s oviduct. Oviparity Sharks lay eggs in the ocean. Viviparity Very much like mammals, sharks have placental links with developing pups, nour...

Female snakes reproduce about once or twice a year; however, the methods of birth vary among species. Some snakes give birth tolive young(from one to 150 at a time), while otherslay eggs(from one to 100 at a time); some even combine these methods by holding eggs internally until they...
How long do amphipods live for? The young scuds shed their exoskeleton and grow eight or nine times as they grow into adulthood (the exoskeleton splits across the back between two thoracic segments. First the front half of the body is pulled out of the old exoskeleton and then the rear ...
it will attack it. According to Blumberg, this is one possible explanation as to how parasitic birds know how to recognize its own species. Other studies suggest that the parasitic chick will hang out with its own species at night, although experts do not fully understand h...
In placental mammals, the gene SRY (Sex-determining Region Y) is a key factor that determines the forma- tion of testes (the Testis Determining Factor, TDF) and is located on the Y chromosome5,6. In most placental mammals, the X and Y chromosomes contain short homologous regions (...
