Reproductive Biology

The “Reproductive Biology” section focuses on publishing original research articles and reviews related to all topics in reproductive biology. Manuscripts involving theoretical, analytical, experimental, and empirical approaches to subjects in reproductive biology are considered. Manuscripts typically focus on aspects of mammalian reproductive biology, but comparative endocrinology studies are also welcome.

Studies involve all facets of male or female reproductive biology. In addition, studies examining various aspects of fertilization, embryo transport and implantation, and early embryo development are also appropriate for this section. A list of some major subject areas in male and female reproductive biology addressed by articles in Biology can be found below.
