👉 Ovoviviparism is a term used in biology and anthropology to describe a sexual relationship where one species reproduces sexually through the egg of another, such as an insect or mammal. This concept is distinct from oviparity, which describes the fertilization of an egg by a sperm. Ovoviviparism is often associated with certain animal species that have evolved to reproduce sexually, such as bees and some species of birds.
