About

Felidae and Canidae are two families of the order Carnivora with both domestic and wild representatives. Felidae have been reproductively classified as seasonal polyestrous with induced ovulation. According to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, approximately 75% of the wild felids are listed as threatened or endangered. In comparison to other mammals, the reproductive physiology of Canidae is unique - monoestrous - which has made dogs' reproductive management lag behind the other species.

Conversely, the overpopulation of the domestic counterparts of these carnivores is a major worldwide problem. Thus, further knowledge about reproductive physiology, pathology, diagnostic techniques and therapeutics is still necessary to improve both breeding and contraception in these species.

We are seeking publications which update basic and applied knowledge on reproduction in domestic and wild dogs and cats. Suitable topics include, but are not limited to:
- Physiology
- Pathology
- Diagnosis methods
- Therapeutics
- Infertility
- Biotechnology
- Contraception

Basic or applied Original Research, Clinical Trials and Reviews are welcome.
