Animal reproduction and breeding encompasses the full spectrum of natural, assisted and genetic processes that underpin the perpetuation, improvement and conservation of species across diverse taxa.

The reproductive performance and growth trajectories of rabbits are governed by a complex interplay of genetic, nutritional, and hormonal factors. Critical growth factors, including pre-mating hormone ...

In the animal kingdom, mating isn’t always about survival. From praying mantises to octopuses, some species die during or ...

For some animals, reproduction comes at the ultimate cost—their own lives. While this may seem extreme, it's a natural strategy to maximize reproductive success. These species invest everything into ...

In examining the mating rituals of roundworms, researchers uncovered a unique approach to reproduction that maximizes genetic fitness. Sparks fly when a female nematode meets her mate in a Petri dish.
