Chapter 26, Problem 9RQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: The reproduction methods (oviparous, ovoviviparous, and placental viviparity) in squamates and to determine the climate in which the viviparity is common.
Introduction: The term “non-avian” reptiles include crocodilians, lizards, snakes, turtles, tuatara, and extinct groups like pterosaurs, plesiosaurs, dinosaurs, and other early amniotes. The snakes and lizards belong to the order Squamata.

Most lizards and snakes are oviparous, but some are ovoviviparous or have placental viviparity. Compare these methods of reproduc-tion in squamates. In what climate is viviparity most common?
Describe the advantages and disadvantages of asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction. Provide three examples of animals that engage in each type of reproduction.
Why are
offspring of oviparous animals at a
greater risk as compared to offspring of
viviparous animals?
