Reproductive Physiology and Behavior Interactions in Nonmammalian Vertebrates

  • Chapter
Reproduction

Part of the book series: Handbook of Behavioral Neurobiology ((HBNE,volume 7))

Abstract

Reproduction is an intricate and complex process, the investigation of which can involve the study of physiology, behavior, and individual and evolutionary history. Vertebrates exhibit a diversity of reproductive strategies in each of these aspects. Examples include internal and external fertilization; viviparous, ovoviviparous, and oviparous modes of reproduction; cystic and noncystic patterns of gametogenesis; and bisexual and unisexual reproduction, including hermaphroditism and parthenogenesis. Indeed, at least nine genera of nonmammalian vertebrates exhibit unisexual reproduction in which diploid or triploid ova either develop spontaneously or are stimulated to develop by sperm from bisexual species (gynogenetic reproduction) or by gametic fusion with the sperm of bisexual species (hybridogenesis).

Supported in part by NIMH 58572, NSF 75-13796, and NIMH Research Scientist Development Award 00135 to David Crews and by NIMH 02384 to Rae Silver. The review of literature is current to January 1978.
