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.

A new study published in Science and led by Monash University biologists reveals that the energy cost of reproduction is far greater than previously believed. The research, led by Dr. Samuel C Ginther ...

Scientists at the Research Institute for Farm Animal Biology (FBN) in Dummerstorf and the University of Udine have detected ...

The energy invested in animal reproduction is as much as 10 times greater than previously estimated when the metabolic load of bearing and caring for offspring is accounted for, according to a new ...

Scientists have detected the uptake of nanoplastics in farm animal cell cultures. The results provide evidence of potential ...

Animals possess circadian clocks, or 24 h oscillators, to regulate daily behavior. These typically take their cues from the periodic change of sunlight and darkness. However, many animals are also ...

Studying a species of beetle mite, an international research team has demonstrated for the first time that animals can survive over very long periods of time (possibly millions of years) entirely ...

On islands, many plants rely on animals such as birds, bats and reptiles to disperse their seeds and help them grow in new ...
