Ovulation following unilateral ovariectomy in the California leaf-nosed bat (Macrotus californicus).
Ovulation occurred from the left ovary in all 5 bats that had had the right ovary removed and an implanting blastocyst was found in the left uterine horn in 2 of these bats. All ovulations in the control and sham-operated bats occurred from the right ovary.
