Foliculogénesis Ovárica en la Raya Marmorada, Sympterygia bonapartii (Müller & Henle, 1841) (Chondrichthyes, Rajidae) [PDF]
, 2011 Los Condrictios se han convertido en un recurso económico importante en las últimas décadas, siendo Argentina uno de los países que más explota tiburones y rayas, incluso a niveles que exceden los límites de varias especies.

Effects of maternal basking and food quantity during gestation provide evidence for the selective advantage of matrotrophy in a viviparous lizard. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The evolution of matrotrophy (i.e., direct supply of nutrients by the mother during gestation) may be associated with high maternal energy availability during gestation. However, we lack knowledge about the selective advantages of matrotrophic viviparity

Hatching Strategies in Monogenean (Platyhelminth) Parasites that Facilitate Host Infection [PDF]
, 2011 In parasites, environmental cues may influence hatching of eggs and enhance the success of infections. The two major endoparasitic groups of parasitic platyhelminths, cestodes (tapeworms) and digeneans (flukes), typically have high fecundity, infect more

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Sexual conflict is caused by differences between the sexes in how fitness is maximized. These differences are shaped by the discrepancy in the investment in gametes, how mates are chosen and how embryos and young are provided for.

Zygoparity and sex steroid hormone profiles in bluemouth Helicolenus dactylopterus [PDF]
, 2017 Two hundred and seven individuals (103 females and 104 males) of bluemouth Helicolenus dactylopterus (Scorpaeniformes, Sebastidae), a commercially important deep-water species with an unusual reproductive strategy, from the eastern Atlantic Ocean ranging

An overview of sex and reproductive immunity from an evolutionary/anthropological perspective
Immunological Medicine, 2021 Mammalian pregnancy is a curious life phenomenon. Immunologically, the mechanism of pregnancy is difficult to explain because it involves the coexistence of an external foreign body (the embryo) and the host (the mother) for a period of time.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Elasmobranchs have a very distinct metabolism, and many aspects related to the energetic dynamics of these animals remain poorly investigated. The reproductive period is particularly vulnerable for viviparous species, as part of the energy reserves of ...

Genetic control of viviparity in common bean
Scientia Agricola: In common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) harvesting is carried out in the field. It is therefore necessary that cultivars be tolerant to viviparity, i.e., germination of grains still in the pods.

First Report of Viviparity in Seeds of the Physically Dormant Species Hymenaea martiana (Fabaceae)
SeedsViviparity is rarely reported in species with seed physical dormancy. This is because physical dormancy, common in tropical trees, results from the impermeability of the seed tegument to water and regulates the timing of germination.
