By contrast, the lowest value was observed in winter (0.339) for Salvador Allende and in autumn (0.130) for Molinillos, when the breeding season occurred. Generally, reproductive behaviour determined age and sexual segregation. The highest proportion of faecal groups of juveniles was observed in ...
(2002)showed that modest differences in body condition score (BCS) between hinds before and during the breeding season strongly influenced conception date, with hinds of lower BCS conceiving 8 to 12 days later in the season than hinds of the highest BCS. However, this study did not investigate...
Female samples were collected during the female shooting season (21 October–15 February; Clutton-Brock and Albon, 1989) with most of the samples collected in winter. Tissue samples were stored either at À201C or in tubes containing 100% ethanol. DNA extraction and sequencing of the ...

Specifically, on sites with relatively late parturition dates, fawns are born near the end of the growing season when suboptimal nutritional conditions may negatively affect productivity during their first year of life. Variation in reproductive output of large ungulates is primarily driven by young ...
In this study, seven populations of ginseng plants were censused every 3 weeks during the growing season over 5 years to monitor deer browse and harvest and to project population growth and viability. The minimum viable population size was ~800 plants, a value greater than that of all ...
The venison obtained in the winter season characterized with higher L* (P<0.0001) and b* (P=0.002) and lower a* (P<.0001) compared to meat from the summer season. There was also a seasonal variation in the purge in vacuum bags (P=0.001), water compartments and cooking loss (P<...
Testosterone peaked during the height of the breeding season, despite this period occurring approximately 2 months later than in most temperate‐region white‐tailed deer populations. Age‐related differences in testosterone were only prevalent during the breeding season, with bucks ≥3.5 year...
Leuprolide, administered as a controlled release formulation (ATRIGEL), was 100% effective in preventing pregnancy for one breeding season. Infertility was achieved by suppressing LH levels, which prevented ovulation and the formation of corpus luteum. Treated females regained normal ovarian function and...
We measured understory composition and structure, overstory basal area, and deer-forage availability at 8 sites in summer 2020. Previous history of dormant-season fire increased grass and decreased vine coverage, but forb and understory tree coverage were not influenced. Vegetation provid...
