Book Description hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Acceptable. 1974 Published for the Zoological Society of London by Academic Press (London)6 1/4 x 9 1/4 inches tall embossed blue buckram cloth hardcover in publisher's unclipped dust jacket, gilt lettering to spine, copiously illustrated with black-and-white photographs and drawings, xix, 482 pp. Very slight rubbing to covers. Ink notation to lower margin of front pastedown. Otherwise, a very good copy - clean, bright and unmarked - in a soiled and edgeworn dust jacket with an ink mark (remainder mark?) to front cover but which is nicely preserved and displayed in a clear archival Brodart sleeve. ~SP26~ [3.0P] The rodent suborder Hystricomorpha comprises seven families from Africa and Asia and ten from South America, where they have undergone an extensive radiation and occupy a variety of biomes. Although the guinea pig was a common laboratory rodent, little was known about reproductive biology in the other species until this ambitious research program of Barbara Weir and her mentor I.W. Rowlands. Much of their work and of others then in the field was summarized at a symposium held 50 years ago at The Zoological Society of London. Currently, there is a resurgence of interest in the reproductive biology of the South American species. Compared to other rodents, unique features include a long gestation, a long oestrous cycle, a tendency to form accessory corpora lutea and a vaginal closure membrane. There is a distinctive placental structure, the sub placenta. Most give birth to precocial young. Individual species exhibit peculiarities such as polyovulation, systematic fetal loss and an active female prostate.
