Reproduction and Disease in Captive and Wild Animals (SYMPOSIA OF THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON, Band 60) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This study of the scientific basis for conservation focuses on reproduction and disease. It illuminates not only animal conservation but also physiology and medicine in man and agricultural animals. The various topics covered include the effects of social subordination, environmental pollution and hormonal control on fertility; embryo transfer; the use of ultrasound and enzyme immunoassays in the study of reproduction and disease; and bacterial and viral infections that affect both free-living and captive populations of wild mammals and birds. The contributions reflect years of fruitful collaboration between London's Institute of Zoology and the Wellcome Trust.
