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

The Section develops, validates and applies innovative nuclear and nuclear-derived techniques for the utilisation of local feed resources and optimization of animal feeding; animal genetic evaluation ...

Artificial reproduction in fish species encompasses a suite of techniques designed to overcome the limitations of natural spawning. By harnessing hormonal stimulation, controlled environmental ...

The common fruit fly normally needs a mate to reproduce. But scientists tinkering with its genes found the ones that can induce parthenogenesis, or virgin birth. For the first time, scientists ...

In the framework of an international research project, a team of scientists have demonstrated for the first time that asexual reproduction can be successful in the long term. The animal they studied ...

For a small number of animals, reproduction marks a biological endpoint rather than a stage in an ongoing life cycle. Death follows mating with such consistency that it can be predicted within a ...

8 Bizarre Facts About Animal Reproduction | RealClearScience There's no rule that regulates how animals obtain the necessary genetic material to reproduce—and as a result, there is a lot of weird ...
