Anwendungsbeispiele Englisch
  • Female climbing mantella engage in trophic egg laying, and care for their young by feeding them their unfertilized eggs (a behavior known as oophagy).
  • As the generic name "Oophaga" indicates, this and related species also practice a particular form of oophagy, where the mother deposits special nutritive eggs for the larvae to consume.
  • It contains the only ground shark species that exhibit intrauterine oophagy, in which developing fetuses are nourished by eggs produced by their mother.
  • Its reproduction is little-known but probably similar to that of other mackerel sharks, which are viviparous with embryos that feed on unfertilized eggs during gestation (oophagy).
  • Their seemingly useless teeth may play a role before birth in helping them feed on the mother's unfertilized ova (a behaviour known as oophagy).

  • "Nomorhamphus ebrardtii" is unusual in that the developing embryos are retained in the oviduct where they receive their nourishment from oophagy and adelphophagy, oophagy being the feeding on unfertilised eggs, while adelphophagy is the feeding on fertilised eggs, developing embryos, and smaller siblings.
  • This can occur after oophagy, which results from reproductive competition.
  • This oviposition occurs after oophagy and immediately after a subordinate female has laid an egg and sealed the cell.
  • This can take the form of embryophagy when siblings eat embryos, and oophagy, when siblings eat eggs.
  • This is known as oophagy. This may occur because this practice increases energy circulation.

  • flavitarsis" are capable of laying eggs, so dominance among females is established through physical attacks and oophagy.
  • Workers in colonies of the dwarf honey bee, "Apis florea", are also reported to engage in oophagy.
  • In "Bombus ruderatus", worker oviposition has been seen in association with oophagy, which may include the queen eating eggs deposited by workers.
  • Egg laying by subordinate females and the oophagy of these eggs by dominant female wasps will occur until two weeks after the first female eggs emerge.
  • It is one of the three major modes of elasmobranch reproduction encompassed by "aplacental viviparity", and can be contrasted with yolk-sac viviparity (in which the embryo is solely sustained by yolk) and oophagy (in which the embryo feeds on ova).

  • This additional provisioning may be in the form of unfertilized eggs (intrauterine oophagy), uterine secretions (histotrophy) or it may be delivered through a placenta.
  • There are at least two exceptions to this; some sharks gain nourishment by eating unfertilized eggs produced by the mother (oophagy or egg eating) or by eating their unborn siblings (intra-uterine cannibalism).
