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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
