Talk:External fertilization

Species

There should be a list of what species do not reproduce this way. I still don't know wether or not birds reproduce this way.

Most birds do not; however I don't know if there are no birds that reproduce by external fertilization. See Bird#Reproduction for more details (it contains no mention of external fertilization) --Mairi 22:27, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

The kind of fertilization between plants described here is not external. Gametes travel externally, but all of the fertilization is going on internally, i.e. within the pistil of the receiving flower.

And I quote: "the male will swim by, blow his load, and fertilize them" ...nice. Talk about some fresh salmon.

What is one species that reproduces externally 100% of the time? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.120.176.6 (talk) 13:32, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

New Edit

Hello! I just wanted to let you know that I added a hyperlink for Amphiprion ocellaris into your article. I am a part of a Behavioral Ecology Class (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Program:Washington_University_in_St._Louis/Behavioral_Ecology_%28Fall_2013%29) Washington University and our assignment was to create hyperlinks from our articles to other articles as examples. Best of luck with your article!! Gseehra123 (talk) 22:21, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

+URL🔗: adding hyperlinks to jargon terms ∋ benthic.

We regularly hyperlink terms of: jargon

—∋⁽⁼ᴇʟᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ ɢɪᴠᴇɴ⁾benthic—

that’re MoS:ᴜɴᴅᴇʀʟɪɴᴋed; but

• Question:

¿How do we measure a term’s jargonisticity?

@ᴄᴇ⁺²⁰²⁶年⁰7月ᴊᴜʟ26ᵗʰ日ᴛ¹²点:³⁹分⁺⁰⁸;

the current page for external fertilization linked the unigrams:

• gamete, invertebrate, sessile, ∧⁽⁼ᴀɴᴅ⁾ spawning; but neither
• benthic, marine, ¬∨⁽⁼∨ ̚⁼ɴᴏʀ⁾ motile; despite both
• benthic ∧⁽⁼ᴀɴᴅ⁾ motile being clearly more jargonistic than spawning.

In bgc ⁽⁼http://books.google.com/ngrams/⁾, the peak year for the term benthic was ᴄᴇ⁺¹⁹⁸⁴年, so here are the corresponding statistical frequencies for all seven terms:

1. 𝑛_{marine,bgc₊₁₉₈₄年} = 59⎖ μ回 ⁽⁼⁵⁹·⏨⁻⁶ ⁼⁵⁹·ᵖᵖᵐ ⁼·⁵⁹‱ ⁼·⁰⁵⁹‰ ⁼·⁰⁰⁵⁹% ⁼·⁰⁰⁰ ⁰⁵⁹⁾;
2. 𝑛_{spawning,bgc₊₁₉₈₄年} = 4⎖2 μ回 = ;
3. 𝑛_{benthic,bgc₊₁₉₈₄年} = 3⎖5 μ回;
4. 𝑛_{invertebrate,bgc₊₁₉₈₄年} = 1⎖5 μ回;
5. 𝑛_{sessile,bgc₊₁₉₈₄年} = ⁰⎖92 μ回;
6. 𝑛_{motile,bgc₊₁₉₈₄年} = ⁰⎖59 μ回;
7. 𝑛_{gamete,bgc₊₁₉₈₄年} = ⁰⎖31 μ回.

In summation, let’s please be WP:ʙᴏʟᴅ:
