Fertilization and aqueous development of the puerto rican terrestrial-breeding frog, Eleutherodactylus coqui.

abstract：:Zambian common mole-rats are subterranean rodents that live in families with only one female breeding. Her offspring remain in the parental nest and do not reproduce. Behavioral experiments (Burda, '95) demonstrated that their apparent "sterility" is based on incest avoidance and individual recognition of family membe...
