This is an interesting article:Dr. Mark Hughes likes to startle audiences by declaring that sex may become outdated as a means of human reproduction.

Hughes is joking - for the most part. But as head of a ma

Everyone, well nearly everyone, loves babies, and few babies are more attractive than the cubs, or kittens, of cats, big or small. The successful breeding of, say, snow leopards or ocelots, is a notable and ever-welcome event – the more the merrier for such endangered species. With domestic cats however, the owner has a special responsibility. Pedigree kittens are usually in demand, and they sometimes sell for remarkably high prices; but crossbred animals are often regrettably a burden on the market.Queens reproduce easily and fruitfully during most of their adult lives. With a relatively short gestation (pregnancy) period and an average litter size of almost four, cats can multiply almost as prodigiously as rabbits. It is gross irresponsibility to allow your cant, male or female, to pro

There are occasions, such as the death of a queen or where she simply cannot produce or where she simply cannot produce a sufficient supply of milk, when you may be faced with the problem of rearing kittens in some other way. (If you decide to “destroy” the kittens, do not even consider drowning the, Animal euthanasia must always be carried out by a vet or clinic).You have two options – fostering and artificial rearing.If available, a foster mother is preferable to bottle rearing.FosteringA veterinarian, pet shop, breeder or cat club may be able to put you in touch with somebody who has a newly kittened queen with spare teat capacity. Ideally any such adoption should be carried out as soon as possible after birth and before the queen has bonded too strongly to her own offspring.To tr

The transformation of the kitten from its blind and helpless newborn state to full independence takes about six months. During that time physical and mental abilities mature steadily. The kitten’s instinctive, inbuilt knowledge is progressively enhanced by a process of learning by observation, imitation, and practice through play. Play is the vehicle of the feline learning process – the life of the specialized and perfected in the theatre of the game.War games might as well begin with a toy hird.A lone, artificially reared kitten with no role models around to copy and emulate will never learn much of the repertoire of feline hunting skills. What is not learned during the formative first few weeks of life, cannot be acquired later. Kittens that watch, and are in a real sense taught by t

The newborn kitten is eleven to fifteen centimeters (four to six inches) long and weighs between seventy and one-hundred-and-thirty-five grams (two and five ounches). It is a fairly helpless creature at this stage, unable to see because of closed eyelids, unable to hear with ears that are folded back, and capable of wiggling and squirming but not walking.Brothers and sisters instinctively bunch tighter to conserve warmth.Over the next two to three months the mother cat gradually teaches her kittens all they need to know in order to look after themselves.BondingIn the first few days of life, the queen is absolutely vital to the kittens’ survival, not least in protecting them while they are physically so vulnerable. Instinctively, the queen knows what to do, even if it is her first litter.

Pregnancy ends when special hormones, sent out from the pituitary gland, set birth into motion.Up to one-third of all kittens are born tail-end first. This is perfectly normal and these are not breech births. The term “breech birth” signifies a birth position where the kitten’s bottom passes first through the vagina with its hind feet pointing towards its head. So pliable are kitten’s bodies that even the occasional true breech birth usually occurs without causing difficulties.The first stage of labour may last up to six hours. It begins when the cervix of the uterus opens up and a “wedge” of placental membranes enters it. As this happens, the involuntary contractions of the uterine muscles begin to push the kitten towards the outside world. When these contractions begin, the q

The length of pregnancy in the cat is between fifty-six and seventy-one days, but the average length is sixty-five days. The mean litter size of the domestic cat in the United States is 3.88 kittens (only statisticians have ever seen 0.88 of a kitten!). Larger cats tend to have more kittens in a litter.It is known that more eggs are ovulated and probably fertilized than kittens are born. The reason for this is that death and resorption of the early foetus is common in the cat. It occurs without producing any noticeable symptoms in the queen.Kittens born earlier than fifty-eight days tend to be delivered dead or very weak and those born later than seventy-one days are generally bigger than normal and may also be dead. Such late, big kittens can cause birth problems – consult your vet if t

Make enquiries at a cat club, cat show or your veterinarian’s office. A first-class breeder of the kind you must seek, will have spacious, secure, hygienic and warm accommodation for the tom and queen.

By: Painter Kostiner Leonardo da Vinci - a true 'Renaissance Polymath'Leonardo da Vinci has been at the helm of many inventions, scientific theories, brilliant renaissance paintings, and sculptures. His work has been subject to countless debates over the century. Yet there has never been an artist who deserves the title of a 'Genius', more than da Vinci does.Leonardo da Vinci came from a humble background and achieved universal acclaim during his life through his wide array of work. The illegitimate son of a local lawyer in the town of Vinci in Tuscan region, Leonardo da Vinci, was rather self-sufficient. It may not be incorrect to conclude that his lack of proper upbringing did not affect his mind in any negative manner. The savant was attributed with numerous talents, and prime among them were a great singing voice, superlative mathematical intelligence, tremendous understanding of science, un-matched male beauty, and a magnificent physique.Leonardo da Vinci's overabundance of g

"Dilution drives culture." by Ted ByrneThe semantic implication of breeding being a "dilution" of some sort is not limited to the Russian language. "Reproduction" in English is also carries some of the same connotations. Of course it means the sexual act of conceiving and bearing offspring, but when used as a noun it can also mean a knock-off: "a copy--not an original," "a reasonable facsimile in appearance and construction," "made to appear as an older form," or "made to look like an original."Some definitions lean away from the pejorative sense of the word, emphasizing "with no intention to deceive" or "especially when it is significantly faithful in its resemblance to the form and elements of the original," but we all know that reproduction means you can't have or can't afford the genuine article.I'm sure the breed-dogs-for-working-ability-only people would make the argument that if you only know the reproduction, you'll never appreciate the true beauty of the original (working)

Most fungi can grow in a wide range of temperatures. The ones that do well at 37 degrees are the ones that cause disease in humans. Most fungi are aerobic, there are some facultative anaerobes, but there are no true anaerobes. Fungi thrive at low pHs, so if there is a change in PH, the bacteria die off  fungal overgrowth. So basically fungi are well adapted to survive in lots of places. Unicellular fungi grow by budding, while multicellular fungi grow by branching. In the tip of the mold the vesicle releases its contents into the space between the cell wall and the membrane and the mold elongates.

The tropical trees on planet Earth have seen better days. Today, the world's second largest tropical rainforest is on death row. Is there a way to save this jeweled segment of this ecosystem? If this tropical tree dies off, a unique ecosystem will vanish, a place where trees have learned to pattern their reproduction techniques. Tropical trees in Indonesia pattern reproduction by coinciding with the recurring arrival of El Nino.There are global implications likely to occur that go along with this horrendous event about to transpire. So, just how do tropical trees reproduce? More importantly, can they survive?Tropical trees vary in terms of the timing, extend, and intensity of flowering and fruiting. Most tropical trees do not produce reliable fruit crops. The majority of trees rely on animals to help pollinate the flowers and spread out the seeds released to the forest floor. It is more likely than not that seeds will come into animal contact prior to germination. This unfortunately i

Reproduction Bumblebee Orchid (Ophrys bombyliflora)It is in the variety and the refinement of their reproductive methods that orchids truly amaze. On many orchids, the lip (labellum) serves as a landing pad for flying insects. The labellum is sometimes adapted to have a color and shape which attracts particular male insects via mimicry of a receptive female insect. Some orchids are reliant solely on this deception for pollination. After pollination, the epigynous ovary starts developing and produces a many-seeded capsule.•The Lady's Slipper (Paphiopedilum) has a deep pocket that traps visiting insects, with just one exit. Passage through this exit leads to pollinia being deposited on the insect. •Many neotropical orchids are pollinated by male orchid bees, which visit the flowers to gather volatile chemicals they require to synthesize pheromonal attractants. Each type of orchid places the pollinia on a different body part of a different species of bee, so as to enforce proper cro
