The evolution and physiology of male pregnancy in syngnathid fishes.

Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society - 1 Oct 2020

Whittington Camilla M, Friesen Christopher R

Abstract excerpt

The seahorses, pipefishes and seadragons (Syngnathidae) are among the few vertebrates in which pregnant males incubate developing embryos. Syngnathids are popular in studies of sexual selection, sex-role reversal, and reproductive trade-offs, and are now emerging as valuable comparative models for the study of the biology and evolution of reproductive complexity. These fish offer the opportunity to examine the...
