Placentation in Mammals: Tribute to E.C. Amoroso’s Lifetime Contributions to Viviparity

Mammalian Placentation

A specialized scientific reference examining the development, structure, and function of the placenta across mammalian species. It covers placentation and viviparity in rodents, dogs, pigs, cattle, horses, marsupials, primates, and elephants, with emphasis on fetal–maternal interactions, placental development, and comparative reproductive biology.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive coverage of mammalian placentation
• Explores the evolution and development of viviparity
• Examines fetal–maternal interactions at the placenta
• Covers placental structure and functional adaptations
• Includes comparative studies across multiple mammalian species
• Discusses placentation in dogs, pigs, cattle, horses, rodents, and other species
• Provides histological and anatomical perspectives
• Relevant to reproductive science, embryology, and comparative anatomy
• Suitable for researchers, physicians, and students in reproductive sciences
