It is not the replicator that is a subgroup of the set of reproducing organisms (such as Griesemer's statement [ 19], where replication was a special kind of reproduction), but the reproduction of organisms is a more specific version of replication with the novel ability of development.
What is so special about female reproduction?
Brooding brittle stars have a special mode of reproduction whereby they retain their eggs and juveniles inside respiratory body sacs called bursae.
Apomixis, reproduction by special generative tissues without fertilization.
In this paper, we have identified C. elegans C30F12.4 as the special regulator that links reproduction, fat metabolism, and lifespan.
Compared with studies of respiratory morbidity, studies of human reproduction involve special considerations because of physiologic filters (lung epithelium, placental barrier) between the environment and the target organs (e.g., the placenta, gonads, hypothalamo pituitary axis).
The impostor's ability to put on convincing acts of impersonation, including excellent reproductions of special skills — such as those of the impostured doctor, lawyer, or prince — is very similar to the artist's ability to create something out of nothing.
The use of visual art throughout the book is a particularly appealing tool that the author adopted to illustrate his ideas -- in addition to black-and-white reproductions embedded in the text, there is a special full-colour insert of reproductions of masterpieces by such great impressionists as Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Paul Cézanne.
By allowing species of Salmonella to conjugate (to exchange genetic material in a kind of reproduction) in a special nutritional medium, Zinder hoped to obtain a large number of mutant bacteria to use in his experiments, conducted in the early 1950s.
Conclusions: These data call for further research and action to facilitate career and reproduction, and for special care for older pregnant women.
