Fine structure of egg envelopes in some viviparous goodeid fishes, with comments on the relation of envelope thinness to viviparity
The egg envelope (zona radiata) of the full-grown oocytes before fertilization was examined by electron microscope in eight viviparous species of Goodeidae (Cyprinodontiformes) from the Mexican… Expand
The 18S rDNA sequences support polyphyly of the Hypsibiidae (Eutardigrada)

- 1 December 2007
A survey is given on the scarce information on the visual organs (eyes or ocelli) of Tardigrada. Many Eutardigrada and some Arthrotardigrada, namely the Echiniscidae, possess inverse pigment-cup… Expand
Mechanical properties of the skin of Xenopus laevis (Anura, Amphibia)

- Journal of morphology
- 1 April 1995
The skin of the aquatic pipid frog, Xenopus laevis, was examined for specific biomechanical features: (1) thickness, (2) maximal strain at break (εf), (3) tensile strength (σm), (4) modulus of… Expand
Survey of the oviduct of salamandrids with special reference to the viviparous species.
- H. Greven
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of experimental zoology
- 1 November 1998
Urodeles include oviparous and a few obligately viviparous species that belong to one family, the Salamandridae. Oviducts of both groups have basically the same design, but some modifications became… Expand
Genital structures in the entelegyne widow spider Latrodectus revivensis (Arachnida; Araneae; Theridiidae) indicate a low ability for cryptic female choice by sperm manipulation
- Bettina Berendonck, H. Greven

The female genital structures of the entelegyne spider Latrodectus revivensis are described using semithin sections and scanning electron microscopy. Apart from the tactile hairs overhanging the… Expand
Maternal Adaptations to Reproductive Modes in Amphibians
- H. Greven
- Biology
- 2011
Publisher Summary Amphibians typically lay eggs in water and from these eggs larvae hatch and undergo metamorphosis to finally live terrestrially. Various types of parental investment in offspring… Expand
Copulation and egg retention in an oviparous Caecilian (Amphibia: Gymnophiona)
- Alexander Kupfer, Alexander Kupfer, Armin Kramer, Werner Himstedt, H. Greven
- Biology
- 12 April 2006
Abstract Viviparity (i.e., the bearing of live young) has evolved from oviparity (egg laying) independently in various major vertebrate lineages, and several transitional stages have been described.… Expand
cDNA cloning of a cadmium-inducible mRNA encoding a novel cysteine-rich, non-metallothionein 25-kDa protein in an enchytraeid earthworm.
