Comparative Reproductive Biology

By Heide Schatten, Gheorghe M. Constantinescu, Gheorghe Constantinescu

When considering the physiological systems of the body, the degreeof species variation within the reproductive system compared toother systems is remarkable. Furthermore, it is essential thatresearchers, educators, and students alike remain aware of thefundamental comparative differences in the reproductive biology ofdomestic species.

Written by renowned scientists in their respective fields, Comparative Reproductive Biology is a comprehensive reference onthe reproductive systems of domestic species. The book offers bothbroad and specific knowledge in areas that have advanced the fieldin recent years, including advances in cell and molecular biologyapplied to reproduction, transgenic animal production, genderselection, artificial insemination, embryo transfer, cryobiology, animal cloning and many others. This seminal text includes topicsin animal reproduction that are usually only found as part of otherbooks in animal science such as anatomy, histology, physiology, radiology, ultrasonogrophy, and others.
