Defining the link between oxidative stress, behavioural reproductive suppression and heterothermy in the Natal mole-rat (Cryptomys hottentotus natalensis)
Sub-lethal effects, such as oxidative stress, can be linked to various breeding and
thermophysiological strategies, which themselves can be linked to seasonal variability in …

Why sex matters in phenological research
Males and females often desynchronise their mating activity during the breeding season
(intersexual phenological asynchrony). This suggests that the two sexes differentially use …

Ontogenetic shifts in the nesting behaviour of female crocodiles
Body size and age are crucial factors influencing reproductive capacity and success. As
females grow, their reproductive investment and success often increase due to improved …

Seasonality and climatic control of reproduction in wild-caught female Lesser Egyptian jerboa (Jaculus jaculus) from central Saudi Arabia
In arid regions, unpredictable rainfall patterns and extreme temperature variation occurs; this
poses severe constraints on reproduction in small mammals. In the present study, the gonad …
