About The Book:

"Reproduction in Mammals" (2nd Edition) is a comprehensive and updated treatment of the subject, written to meet the needs of both undergraduate and graduate students in the biological sciences. The first edition of this book received an excellent reception, and this second edition responds to requests for a more recent and detailed discussion of advances in the field of mammalian reproduction.

The book presents the topic in a clear and accessible manner, making it suitable for students, while still maintaining enough depth for researchers and graduate students involved in teaching and study. The book consists of multiple volumes, with Book 4 focusing on the genetic, environmental, behavioral, and immunological mechanisms that influence an animal's reproductive fitness—critical components that impact natural selection.

Key Features:

• Updated and Detailed: The second edition responds to advances in the field of reproductive biology since the first edition was published.

• Comprehensive Coverage: Suitable for both undergraduate students and researchers, it provides a balanced treatment of theoretical and practical aspects of mammalian reproduction.

• Focused on Mechanisms of Reproductive Fitness: Book 4 delves into the mechanisms that contribute to reproductive fitness, including genetic, environmental, and behavioral factors.

• Readable and Engaging: The presentation is designed to be both interesting and comprehensible for students, with worked examples and exercises that aid learning.

This book serves as a valuable resource for anyone studying reproduction in mammals and is an essential text for understanding the biological foundations of reproduction.
