Reproduction by laying eggs which develop indipendent of the mother
Some oviparous animals inclulding some snakes are dependent on the mother to brood the eggs to maintain warmth or humidity or both. How about:Reproduction by laying eggs which develop indipendent of the mother
JenAwesome definitions, Jan!
How do we classify the salamanders that deposit fully formed larvae/morphs instead of eggs? Are they ovoviviparous?
Hi JenThe Plethodontids (that I know of) hatch as mini-adults from eggs, so I assume they would be the standard oviparous. I was thinking of Salamandra, where the female deposits larvae (or even metamorphs), not eggs. Are there any other sals that do this, besides Salamandra?
