Female tammar wallabies are rarely, if ever, truly alone. Their pregnancies last almost exactly 12 months—and within hours of giving birth, most of the marsupials can be found mating again, conceiving ...

How do some mammals postpone the development of their embryos to await better conditions for having offspring? A recent study at the UW Medicine Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine ...

Seals give birth only when conditions are right. After mating, a female seal can delay implantation of the embryo in the uterine wall—pausing pregnancy until she senses that her fat reserves are ...

It's challenging to sustain a pregnancy when food is short, or conditions are otherwise tough. That's why many mammalian embryos can postpone their growth to get through periods of environmental ...

Everyone is familiar with the roe deer, either from crossword puzzles or from real- life encounters during a jog or a hike in the forest: majestic creatures with elegant big black eyes. As common as ...

Putting your pregnancy on pause until the time is right to give birth sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel, but for many mammals what’s known as “embryonic diapause” is an essential part of ...

Roe deer are among the few mammals whose embryos go into a particularly long period of dormancy. Using modern molecular methods, researchers have shown for the first time what exactly happens in the ...
