Abstract excerpt
Using our own data and literature, we present analysis of genetic-physiological mechanisms providing for stable reproduction of mammals. Using multiparous species (such as minks, mice, water voles), we demonstrate that embryonic and early postnatal mortality of the offspring makes a significant contribution to stabilization of the actual fertility rate at a level optimal for the species. Studies of phenogenetics...
