Cooperative Breeding in Mammals
The comparisons also indicate that milk “theft” is more likely to occur in
monotocous species than in polytocous species and that nonoffspring nursing is
likely to increase with group size in monotocous species but decrease with group
size in ...

Anatomy and Physiology of Farm Animals
Secondary Follicles In all animals, multiple primary follicles typically begin further
development during a single estrous cycle. In monotocous animals (animals not
bearing litters and normally having only one offspring per gestation, such as the ...

Advances in Ecological Research
We have already reported (section ''Density effects on age‐specific survival rates''
) that density‐dependence in summer survival was more prevalent in polytocous
species, whereas young of monotocous species exhibited density‐dependent ...
In monotocous species (or in species with one conceptus per uterine horn), the
single uterine compartment is bordered anteriorly by the tubouterinejunction and
posteriorly by the cervix (or uterovaginal junction). In some polytocous species ...

Comparative Reproductive Biology
Mammary glands vary by species in terms of the number of glands and their
location. Mammals that are monotocous have mammary glands in the inguinal
region, whereas mammals that are polytocous have paired mammary glands on
both ...

Biology and management of the Cervidae: a conference held at ...
I begin by examining potential habitat-related differences between monotocous
and polytocous species. Selected representatives of the two groups are then

Reproductive Biology of Bats
With the exception of some of the vespertilionids, which have litters of two to four
young, bats are normally monotocous and would probably find it difficult (if not
impossible) to successfully carry more than a single conceptus to term.

Reproduction in Domestic Ruminants VII
Evidence to date supports a potential important functional role for CART in
regulation of dominant follicle selection and the species-specific ovulatory quota
in monotocous species. Introduction The ovarian cycle is central to the
reproductive ...

Further, the foetalization necessaryfor aprolonged period of learning could only
haveoccurred in a monotocous species.1 Weidenreich (1941) maintainsthat the
