Not all creatures need to breed to produce offspring. Animals like zebra sharks and killifish are redefining what scientists thought they knew about asexual reproduction. Gabe Allen is a ...

An in-depth study of aspects of the physiology of reproduction and lactation in monogastric and ruminant animals. The emphasis is placed on applying the understanding of the physiological processes to ...

We primates are a little slow on the sexual maturity scale—some of us reach 50 and still laugh at the word “penis.” Joking aside, sexual maturity is the age at which an animal can reproduce, and many ...

The Animal Reproduction Science Group are researchers and clinicians at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Helsinki. Our group members work with all domestic animal species with a ...

If you've ever had a spiny leaf insect as a pet, or you're considering getting one, hopefully someone has warned you about this: if you put one in your enclosure, you might come back some time later ...
