Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of carnivore reproduction has lagged behind that of larger domestic species. It was not until the 1980s that domestic dog and cat reproduction achieved relevance and independence. Although there have been an increasing number of studies since then, many of the reproductive aspects of these species have yet to be unveiled. Thus, the aim of this Special Issue is to publish high-quality peer-reviewed articles that update the basic and applied knowledge of domestic and wild carnivore reproduction.
I am pleased to invite you to submit your articles to this Special Issue “Reproduction in Domestic and Wild Carnivores”, which will involve (but is not limited to) research areas such as physiology, pathology, diagnosis methods, therapeutics, infertility, biotechnology, and contraception.
This Special Issue welcomes basic or applied original research, clinical trials, case series, and reviews (in all their forms).
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Cristina Gobello
Guest Editor
