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 ...

Some of the world's earliest-known macrofossils have revealed evidence of their revolutionary early reproduction. Scientists publishing research with the scientific journal Nature have studied ...

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 ...

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

In the animal kingdom, reproduction is a necessary part of species survival. Parthenogenesis, a form of asexual reproduction where embryos develop from unfertilized eggs, has been observed in captive ...

The National System of Conservation Areas, part of the Environment Ministry, has informed Ponderosa Adventure Park in Guanacaste that it must make changes in order to comply with Costa Rican laws.
