Reproductive management profile (RMP): a computerized reproductive management system
Reproductive inefficiency is a major area of economic loss to most dairymen. Recent estimates for the United States indicate that this problem alone accounts for annual losses of 540 million dollars. Studies during the past several years have clearly illustrated the need for a complete, …

Reproductive Health in the Philippines: Poverty, Religiosity, and Navigating Reproductive Choices
… rhetoric that have delayed efforts supporting reproductive health intended to aid low-income women concerning their sexual and reproductive health. The second incentive is to detect how low-income women’s thoughts and behaviors in making reproductive decisions are resonant or not of the …

Reproductive Biology of Alligator Snapping Turtles: Behavior, Reproductive Investment, and Nest Predation
… I studied: (1) nesting behavior and (2) maternal reproductive investment patterns in a captive alligator snapping turtle population housed outdoors under semi-natural conditions, and (3) nest predation patterns in a reintroduced population. Both sites were located in the species' geographic range …

Understanding the reproductive biology of giant pandas: predictive biomarkers for reproductive success
… there are still many unknowns regarding their reproductive physiology. Giant pandas are monoestrus with a variably timed Spring estrus. Following, there is a variable-length embryonic diapause and a short period of true gestation. Giant pandas undergo pseudopregnancy, and currently there is no …

Strategies for Improving Reproductive Efficiency of Beef Cattle with Assisted Reproductive Technologies
Reproductive efficiency in beef cattle can be improved with reproductive technologies at the herd, individual cow, and embryonic levels. Decreasing the bull:cow ratio for natural service after fixed time artificial insemination (FTAI) can alleviate economic burden associated with FTAI. In …

Assessing species-specific reproductive variation to inform assisted reproductive technologies for Canadian snakes
Assisted reproductive technologies (ART), frequently used to manage domestic livestock, are increasingly incorporated into conservation mating programs for species-at-risk. Species-specific insights on reproductive biology, including seasonal variation and endocrine function, improve ART outcomes. …

Combat-Related Reproductive Trauma: Implications for Quality of Life and the Reproductive Narrative
… on both the life course perspective and the reproductive story model, this dissertation reviews literature on military culture, GU injury, and infertility to give a context to further analyze the essences of the phenomenon (Elder & Giele, 2009; Jaffe & Diamond, 2011).</p> <p>This study is …

Imagining the Internal Reproductive Environment: Function and Evolution of the Drosophila Melanogaster Female Reproductive Tract
… and potentially competition, among the reproductive cells, fluids, and structures of all individuals involved. For internally fertilizing species, these interactions occur within the body of one sex, predominantly the female, or ovary-associated, reproductive tract. Thus, characterizing …

Reproductive health human rights : women's knowledge, attitude, and practices toward their reproductive health rights in Palestine
Reproductive health rights ensure that people are able to have satisfying and safe sex life and that they have the capacity to reproduce with freedom to decide, when and how often to do so. Reproductive health rights also include the access of women to high quality health care services that help in …

Choices made under reproductive uncertainty: acceptance or rejection of amniocentesis by women at genetic reproductive risk
… was recruited from pregnant females at genetic reproductive risk (due to advanced maternal age or hereditary genetic disorders) attending a genetic counseling clinic in a large midwestern university hospital. Thirteen of the nineteen variables measuring background characteristics of the …

New reproductive and genetic technologies in Canada : towards a policy that manages technology and reproductive rights
New reproductive and genetic technologies in Canada, the void of regulation and policy, and the federal government's policy making attempts, to date, are the focus of this paper. The unencumbered growth of new reproductive and genetic technologies (NRGTs) are influenced by a technological …

Avian Infectious Bronchitis Virus: A Tropism for the Rooster Reproductive Tract and Effects on Reproductive Performance
… chickens. The pathogenesis of AIBV in the female reproductive tract has been well studied; however, there have been few studies concerning the effects of AIBV on the rooster reproductive tract. Therefore this investigation was undertaken to identify the role of AIBV in epididymal stone formation …

Weak information flow challenging reproductive management decision-making along the swine reproductive value chain: three manuscripts
… factors for this improvement, especially in reproductive traits. Others suggest that genetic management lags other areas of management in terms of efficiency gains because results in the nucleus herds’ environment are difficult to replicate in a commercial herd environment. Part of this …

Reproductive Resilience of Aedes Aegypti Mosquitoes
… molecular adaptations have evolved to ensure the reproductive flexibility and resilience of this species when they are faced with intense droughts and changing climates? Here we show that the reproductive behaviors of adult Aedes aegypti females are tightly interconnected and centered on precise …
