Open AccessSuperconception in mammalian pregnancy can be detected and increases reproductive output per breeding season
The concept of superfetation, a second conception during pregnancy, has been controversial for a long time. In this paper we use an experimental approach to demonstrate that female European brown hares (Lepus eur...
