Pregnancy in a Comparative Light -- Epilogue -- Appendix: Molecular - Genetic Parentage Analysis -- Glossary -- Reference S Cited -- IndexCovering both the internal and external incubation of offspring, this book provides a biology-rich survey of the natural history, ecology, genetics, and evolution of pregnancy-like phenomena. From mammals and other live-bearing organisms to viviparous reptiles, male-pregnant fishes, larval-brooding worms, crabs, sea cucumbers, and corals, the world's various species display pregnancy and other forms of parental devotion in surprisingly multifaceted ways. An adult female (or male) can incubate its offspring in a womb, stomach, mouth, vocal sac, gill chamber, epithelial pouch, backpack, leg pocket, nest, or an encasing of embryos, and by studying these diverse examples from a comparative vantage point, the ecological and evolutionary-genetic outcomes of different reproductive models become fascinatingly clear. John C. Avise discusses each mode of pregnancy and the decipherable genetic signatures it has left on the reproductive structures, physiologies, and innate sexual behaviors of extant species. By considering the many biological aspects of gestation from different evolutionary angles, Avise offers captivating new insights into the significance of "heavy" parental investment in progeny.Pregnancy in animalsVertebratesReproductionInvertebratesReproductionSexual selection in animalsEvolution (Biology)Pregnancy in animals.VertebratesReproduction.InvertebratesReproduction.Sexual selection in animals.Evolution (Biology)573.66Avise John C.531461Nicholson Trudy H.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786052203321Evolutionary perspectives on pregnancy3706547UNINA
