All I've found so far is references to the female heat, and that's it.

You are right of course . The social interference during the mating season is necessary to produce fertile sperms, what definitly isn´t a heat. You can find it in the old books of Erik Zimen, no need to read several German homepages from wolfmothers.

Maybe we could return to the topic and Christian could open up a new one about heat in males?
