Talk:Ovoviviparity

message: Wiki seems to be in conflict with itself on this word. Is the proper term OVOVIVIPARITY or OVOVIVIPARY?  I do not know whether it is an alternate spelling or an incorrect one.  The latter seems more consistant with related terms.

replies: text: Linguistically, neither form makes more sense, nor is one easier to pronounce than the other (if anything, -pary is shorter than -parity and thus arguably easier to pronounce). Perhaps you mean that -parity makes more sense morphologically to a native speaker of English (-parous → -parity, with -ity more common or at least more recognisable as Latinate morpheme for deriving nouns from adjectives, not necessary but frequently with an ending -ous, which is then replaced with -ity), but speakers of other languages may have different intuitions. To me, -pary appears more "natural" or "correct", but that is probably because of my education in Latin. Moreover, parity is already a quite different concept. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 21:52, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally I grew up with "-parity", but I have seen "-pary", sometimes in the same document. There is nothing wrong with it and it is a simpler (more natural?) form. Generally I agree with Florian. This said, I don't see why any of us should get excited about it. There is no substantial reason to exclude either just because the other sometimes is more comfortable. JonRichfield (talk) 06:05, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

message: Italic text"Ovoviviparity, ovovivipary, ovivipary, or aplacental viviparity is an outmoded term used as a "bridging" form of reproduction between egg-laying oviparous and live-bearing viviparous reproduction."
The lead sentence says these are "an outmoded term" and yet the article doesn't reveal what is regarded as the au courant term.
Saying the term itself is a form of reproduction is grammatical nonsense also.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:CA10:18A0:0:0:0:6D6 (talk) 22:51, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

message: This is the expulsion of under developed eggs rather than live young. The eggs may have been fertilized before release, as in birds and some reptiles, or are to be fertilized externally,as in amphibians and many lower forms. In general, the number of eggs produced by oviparous species greatly exceeds the number of offspring from species that bear live young, but the chances of survival are diminished because of the lack of maternal protection. 105.112.153.125 (talk) 21:36, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
