Laying eggs in large quantities increases the likelihood that some will survive predation, as many eggs are eaten by predators. This reproductive strategy ensures that enough offspring reach maturity despite high mortality rates. Additionally, laying eggs in various environments allows for adaptability to changing conditions, increasing the chances of species survival. Overall, this method enhances genetic diversity and population resilience.
no they don't die after laying their eggs
Frog's spawn are eggs laid on mass, each egg being protected in a jelly-like covering. Of all the vast number of spawn laid, not many tadpoles will live to reach adulthood as a frog. But, enough will survive each year to continue the frog species as a whole.
Survival of the species. Predators consume a lot of eggs, tadpoles and young frogs.
at any time When the have mated and are fully-grown...... My question is where do tree frogs lay their eggs?During mating season, which is generally at spring time.
There are some species of frogs, such as the Guinea pig frog and the Midwife toad, that give live birth instead of laying eggs. The young frogs develop internally and are born fully formed. This reproductive strategy is less common among frogs compared to laying eggs.
Egg laying.
Frogs, like most reptiles, are egg-layers.
Frogs don't get pregnant in the same way mammals do. They lay eggs externally in water and the female releases eggs that are then fertilized by the male. You won't see a pregnant frog in the traditional sense but rather notice them laying eggs in clusters in the water.
Frogs overproduce by laying a large number of eggs in order to increase the chances of survival for their offspring. This strategy, known as "fecundity," compensates for high predation rates and environmental challenges that lead to high mortality in early developmental stages. By releasing thousands of eggs, frogs ensure that at least some will survive to adulthood and reproduce, maintaining their population. This reproductive strategy is especially important in fluctuating ecosystems where survival rates can vary significantly.
They need very dry conditions, or they will die.
Snakes have fewer eggs because they tend to invest more energy in producing larger and more developed offspring compared to frogs. This strategy increases the chances of survival for their offspring. Frogs, on the other hand, produce many eggs with less investment in each, increasing the odds of at least some surviving to adulthood.
Survival of the species ! Many eggs laid in water are eaten by fish and other animals. Laying hundreds or perhaps thousands of eggs increases the chance that at least some of them will survive to hatch out.
