Abstract :

[en] Knowledge about cervids are rapidly growing. This work aims to present the more recent scientific information on reproductive physiology and endocrinology of the cervids: anatomy of the genital tract, length of breeding season, parameters and endocrinology of the reproductive cycle, endocrinology of pregnancy. It also aims to highlight differences between cervids and domestic ruminants such as embryonic diapause observed in Capreolus capreolus.
[fr] Les connaissances relatives aux cervidés sont de plus en plus étendues. La présente synthèse vise à rapporter à partir des données récentes de la littérature les caractéristiques essentielles de la reproduction des principales espèces : anatomie de l’appareil reproducteur, durée de la saison de reproduction, différents paramètres du cycle sexuel, endocrinologie du cycle sexuel et de la gestation. Il vise également à mettre en évidence les particularités différenciant les cervidés des ruminants domestiques, telle par exemple la diapause embryonnaire rencontrée chez le chevreuil.
