Some animals reproduce only once before dying. This life strategy, called semelparity, sees organisms channel all energy into ...

In the animal kingdom, mating isn’t always about survival. From praying mantises to octopuses, some species die during or ...

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.

Most animals reach an adult size, then spend the rest of their lives maintaining it. After maturity, their energy goes toward ...

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 animal sex going on out there ...

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 ...

For some animals, reproduction comes at the ultimate cost—their own lives. While this may seem extreme, it's a natural strategy to maximize reproductive success. These species invest everything into ...

Nagoya University researchers discovered a gene that actively suppresses food-odor detection in roundworms after reproduction ...

Not all creatures need to breed to produce offspring. Animals like zebra sharks and killifish are redefining what scientists thought they knew about asexual reproduction. Among vertebrates, or animals ...

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 ...
