The 36 pages that link to Viviparity, each with the reason it gives.

• OviparityCompared with: It contrasts with eggs developing outside the parent after being laid.

• Amniotic eggCompared with: Live-bearing mammals show that amniotic development does not require a laid egg.

• External fertilizationCompared with: It contrasts with the usual external development associated with external fertilization.

• IncubationCompared with: Viviparity shifts embryonic support inside the parent rather than relying on an incubated egg.

• OvoviviparityCompared with: Unlike ovoviviparity, viviparity involves live birth rather than hatching from retained eggs.

• OvipositionCompared with: Viviparity retains developing young internally instead of depositing eggs externally.

• Marsupial pouchCompared with: Marsupials are viviparous, but their short internal development makes postnatal pouch care distinctive.

• Brood pouchCompared with: Pouch brooding involves parental retention, but does not always provide nourishment like viviparity.

• YolkCompared with: Some viviparous embryos receive substantial maternal nourishment rather than relying mainly on yolk.

• Animal embryonic developmentCompared with: It contrasts with embryos that complete development in eggs laid externally.

• Fire salamanderCompared with: A few populations give birth to fully developed young, unlike the more common larval birth.
