   Assessment of reproductive function in southern African spiny mice (Acomys spinosissimus) using faeces as hormone matrix

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Zoology • Authors: P. Ruan de Bruin --- Department of Zoology and Entomology, South Africa Katarina Medger --- Department of Zoology and Entomology, South Africa Nigel C. Bennett --- Department of Zoology and Entomology, South Africa André Ganswindt --- Department of Zoology and Entomology, South Africa
