“…A recent survey of 50 species concluded that there are as many mechanistic variations in reproduction as there are species (Wildt et al, 2010). Although certain aspects of the reproductive biology of the dama gazelle have been established in preparation for the future implementation of assisted reproductive technology (Pickard et al, 2001(Pickard et al, , 2003Wojtusik et al, 2017;Arregui et al, 2021), there is, to our knowledge, no information regarding the role of semiochemical-mediated communication in the sexual behavior and reproductive physiology of the dama gazelle. Sexual attraction, mother-young interactions, estrus indication, induction and synchronization, puberty acceleration, reducing the postpartum anestrus, hormonal stimulation, and enhancing the penis erection are some of the classical events influenced by pheromones in ruminants (Archunan et al, 2014).…”
