Available for download now is the monography of S.V.Naydenko «Reproductive biology of cats: mechanisms of increasing reproductive success».
The book examines the features of feline reproductive biology, affecting behavior associated with finding a mating partner, changes in marking and acoustic activity during this period, changes in the hormonal status of animals associated with reproduction, as well as the specific mechanism of functioning of the corpus luteum in the genus lynx. The work examines the mechanisms of increasing reproductive success in a promiscuous mating system (an increase in the intensity of ovulation, embryonic mortality, sperm competition), as well as factors affecting postembryonic mortality in feline litters.
Intended for biologists, zoologists and students of biological studies.
