ovoviviparity

the guppy exhibits ovoviviparity, a reproductive strategy between viviparity and oviparity.

ovoviviparity in seahorses involves the male carrying eggs until they hatch.

researchers are studying the evolutionary advantages of ovoviviparity in certain fish species.

unlike true viviparity, ovoviviparity doesn't involve placental nourishment of the embryo.

the distinction between oviparity, viviparity, and ovoviviparity can be subtle.

garter snakes are a well-known example of reptiles demonstrating ovoviviparity.

ovoviviparity allows for egg protection while still providing some maternal care.

the presence of ovoviviparity can influence a species' geographic distribution.

a key characteristic of ovoviviparity is the development of young within the mother's body.

understanding ovoviviparity is crucial for conservation efforts of vulnerable species.

the evolutionary shift towards ovoviviparity can be driven by environmental factors.
