SYNOPSIS. On behavioral, hormonal, and physiological grounds, mammalian reproduction
can be compartmentalized into the following continuous sequence of events: mating …

A unique interdisciplinary overview of the way mammals reproduce, this volume synthesizes
research done by laboratory physiologists, behaviorists, population ecologists, and animal …

The last 'hibernation book'was published in 1982, nearly 40 years ago, so clearly an update
was needed. The options were a book written by a single author or an edited book written by …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), such as exosomes or oncosomes, often carry oncogenic
molecules derived from tumor cells. In addition, accumulating evidence indicates that tumor …

We have assessed the allometric relationship between mass of testes and body mass using
data from 133 mammalian species. The logarithmically transformed data were fitted by a …

" All paleoscientists working in the region will want this book because it brings in so much
new material and includes so many new interpretations. This is a grand synthesis and it …

Four mechanisms of coexistence are considered that may contribute to the diversity of desert
granivorous rodent communities. In the first, bush/open microhabitat selection, coexistence …

Since small mammals have a large surface to mass ratio, one would expect them to quickly
dehydrate and perish at high environmental temperatures. Nonetheless, a large number of …

Rodents show an immense variation in reproductive seasonality, spanning the whole
spectrum from strictly seasonal to continuous reproduction throughout the year. However …

We examine the operation of an assembly rule to account for the structure of rodent
communities in the species-rich southwestern deserts of North America. The rule specifies …
