REPRODUCTION |
- tetrapods were the first vertebrates that could reproduce on land
- major evolutionary innovations: 1. amniotic egg 2. placenta 3. elaborate parental care |
|
Reproduction
AMNIOTIC EGG |

- encompasses any action by parent that improves ability of offspring to survive
- mammals provide the most - mammals lactate - placental mammals invest the most energy and time in offspring |
|
