Life-history and Reproductive Strategies of Bats
Paul A. Racey,Abigail Entwistle +1 more
TL;DR: Bats have distinctive life-history strategies for mammals of their size characterized by longevity with multiple reproductive events, low litter size and delayed onset of sexual maturity, and may represent a strategy by which energetic investment in young is optimized in relation to seasonal food abundance.

Growth and Survival of Bats
TL;DR: It is indicated that few if any details of growth and survival are constant over time, even for individual colonies within a single species.

Embryonic diapause in vertebrates
TL;DR: In many species the uterus undergoes histological changes and secretes increased amounts of protein, yet the authors still do not understand the role, if any, these proteins play in initiating renewed embryonic development, and the phenomenon of embryonic diapause still holds many mysteries for scientists to solve.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological Adaptation and Mammalian Reproduction
TL;DR: It appears that induced ovulation is the more widespread phenomenon and that spontaneous ovulation occurs in a more restricted number of species.
