Since Heape (1890) first succeeded in transplanting rabbit embryos (four-cell stage), the transplantation of fertilized eggs and preimplantation embryos of laboratory animals has been progressively more successful (for review and bibliography, see Chang & Pickworth, 1969; Adams & Abbott, 1971), though few studies seem to have been made on the transplantation of hamster embryos. Blaha (1964) reported that 49·2% of six- to eight-cell embryos from young (2½- to 6-month-old) donor hamsters could develop into term fetuses when transplanted into young recipients, but that only 8·3% of embryos of the same developmental stage developed into fetuses when transplanted into old (14- to 10-month-old) recipients. The incidence of successful fetal development was also very low (4·5%) when the embryos from old donors were transplanted into young recipients. Orsini

Reproduction is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.

The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
