Seminal and endocrine characteristics of male Pallas’ Cats (Otocolobus manul) maintained under artificial lighting with simulated natural photoperiods
Abstract 10.1002/zoo.20127.abs Pallas’ cats (Otocolobus manul) have a pronounced reproductive seasonality controlled by photoperiod. Previous studies of reproduction in captive Pallas’ cats exposed to natural light showed a breeding season of December–April. This study evaluated the impact of artificial lighting timed to simulate natural photoperiods on male reproductive seasonality of four Pallas’ cats housed indoors. […]
