A female donkey Seiichi accidentally evolved into a human by feeding her a fruit of evolution during a race. She has an enormous appetite and will eat huge amounts of food. Oliga Calmeria (オリガ・カルメリア, Origa Karumeria) Voiced by: Yurika Kubo [5] (Japanese); Reshel Mae (English)
[14] [16] Even female waved albatrosses, which typically mate for life, are sexually promiscuous, with 17% of young fathered by extra-pair males. [17] In many primate species, females solicit sex from males and may mate with more than one male in quick succession. [18] Female lions may mate 100 times per day with different males while they are ...
The genus Ficus is composed of 800 species of vines, shrubs, and trees, defined by their syconiums, the fruit-like vessels that either hold female flowers or pollen on the inside. In addition to being cultivated by humans for thousands of years, Ficus is also known for its reproductive mutualism with the fig wasp .
A female produces an ovum with a full set (two sets of genes) provided solely by the mother. Thus, a male is not needed to provide sperm to fertilize the egg. This form of asexual reproduction is thought in some cases to be a serious threat to biodiversity for the subsequent lack of gene variation and potentially decreased fitness of the offspring.
Female preference for males with enhanced cognitive ability "may be reflected in successful males' courtship displays, foraging performance, courtship feeding or diet-dependent morphological traits." [ 99 ] However, few are the studies that assess whether females can discriminate between males through direct observation of cognitively demanding ...
Syconium (pl.: syconia) is the type of fruit borne by figs (genus Ficus), formed by an enlarged, fleshy, hollow receptacle with multiple ovaries on the inside surface. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In essence, it is really a fleshy stem with a number of flowers, so it is considered both a multiple and accessory fruit.
Gynoecium (/ ɡ aɪ ˈ n iː s i. ə m, dʒ ɪ ˈ n iː ʃ i. ə m /; from Ancient Greek γυνή (gunḗ) 'woman, female' and οἶκος (oîkos) 'house'; pl.: gynoecia) is most commonly used as a collective term for the parts of a flower that produce ovules and ultimately develop into the fruit and seeds.
The peacock tail in flight, the classic example of an ornament assumed to be a Fisherian runaway. Fisherian runaway or runaway selection is a sexual selection mechanism proposed by the mathematical biologist Ronald Fisher in the early 20th century, to account for the evolution of ostentatious male ornamentation by persistent, directional female choice.
