Introduction
Most recent research on early mammalian development has been focused upon a select group of laboratory and farm animals. To a certain extent such a concentration of effort has been healthy, since it has provided us with a detailed understanding of early pregnancy in these species. It must be kept in mind, however, that the resulting picture often may not be representative of events occurring in other mammals. Comparative studies can help us to distinguish between the processes and underlying regulatory mechanisms which are common to many species and those which are restricted to a few. The comparative approach is also valuable because it occasionally draws attention to animals which are more ideally suited than the common experimental species for the investigation of specific problems. The purpose of the present paper is to review some of the major features of early pregnancy in bats, one of the largest but most inadequately studied groups of mammals.
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.
