Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the worldwide outline, where the species extinction is an increasing problem, the global conservation is a major concern due the biodiversity role in the preservation of ecosystems. In this context, the establishment of Assisted Reproduction Techniques (ARTs) in wild species represents essential steps in the conservation of wild fauna. These techniques allow the conservation and multiplication of genetic valuable individuals, as well as facilitate the transport of the germplasm among distant regions. A series of ARTs has been developed in different wild species with variable efficiency, mainly due to physiological and reproductive characteristics, sometimes species-specific. In this issue, we aim to present the main results aimed at wild conservation, as well as to correlate the reproductive parameters involved in choosing the most suitable ARTs for the species of interest. Additionally, such information will be interesting for the optimization of conservation strategies aimed at increasing their efficiency.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Animals is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
