The evolution of reproductive strategies in animalsMajdič, Gregor (Avtor) Fon Tacer, Klementina (Avtor) animalsreproductionveterinary medicineReproduction is one of the fundamental biological imperatives shared by all living beings. Organisms must reproduce to pass on their genes to the next generation, ensuring the survival and continuation of their species. In pursuit of this goal, nature has evolved a remarkable diversity of reproductive methods and behaviors, including external fertilization in aquatic species, internal fertilization in terrestrial animals, oviparity, viviparity, complex hormonal regulation, and diverse strategies of parental investment. In the Slovenian Veterinary Research journal, we welcome articles addressing various aspects of veterinary and comparative reproductive research and medicine. In this issue, we have placed particular emphasis on this topic. With this editorial, we would also like to bring attention to these articles, including a review of the phenomics evaluation and research on hormone GnRH injection in cattle and sheep breeding, the effect of food additives and environmental enrichment on fertility protection against toxicity and egg production and a case report on canine idiopathic oligoasthenoteratozoospermia.20252026-07-31 04:10:29Članek v reviji185310UDK: 2-633:57.015.5:575ISSN pri članku: 1580-4003DOI: 10.26873/SVR-2305-2025COBISS_ID: 263637763sl
