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 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)

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)
