Abstract Knowledge of reproductive biology is crucial to improving in situ and ex situ
breeding programmes for felids. We reviewed the available literature (223 publications) on …

Reliable detection and monitoring of estrus and pregnancy is essential to the effective ex
situ conservation of endangered felids. Here, we review the current methods used to detect …

Endocrinology is an indispensable tool in threatened species research. The study of
