Comparative Aspects of Reproductive Failure

Abstract

To clarify matters at the beginning, I consider that reproduction has failed whenever a fertilized egg does not produce eventually a viable animal, with normal anatomy and physiology, and capable of normal development. Because a malformation like polydactyly can be harmless, while an invisible “inborn error of metabolism” like galactosemia can be lethal, I have extended the title orginally assigned to me to permit inclusion of defects other than malformations.
