Analysis of ovaries in studies of reproduction in red deer (Cervus elaphus, L.): Application and limitations
A set of definitions for luteal structures and their regressing stages in red deer ovaries is suggested. Structural characteristics in ovaries pertaining to reproductive analysis is compiled from relevant literature and combined with observations from the present study. Luteal structures and their r...
