Study Notes

Reproductive Cycles in Animals

  • Birds in nature lay eggs only seasonally, whereas those in captivity (poultry farms) can be induced to lay eggs throughout the year for commercial purposes.
  • In non-primate mammals (e.g. cows, sheep, rats, deer, dogs, tiger), cyclical changes during reproduction are called oestrus cycle.
  • In primates (monkeys, apes, humans), cyclical changes during reproduction are called menstrual cycle.
  • Many mammals in natural, wild conditions exhibit reproductive cycles only during favourable seasons and are called seasonal breeders.
  • Other mammals are reproductively active throughout their reproductive phase and are called continuous breeders.

Aging and Reproduction

  • Growing old is characterized by the end of reproductive capability.
  • Reproductive cycles are seasonal in many mammals, while others are continuous throughout their reproductive phase.
