Reproductive science and integrated conservation /
Reproductive systems vary widely between species. This book reviews the many factors that influence reproduction, including genetics, behaviour and nutrition in a diverse range of animals. Leading authorities assess the potential relevance of the recent rapid advances in reproductive technology and...
