RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN IN UTERO PRODUCTIVITY OF MOOSE AND POPULATION SEX RATIOS: AN EXPLORATORY ANALYSIS

We investigated the in utero productivity of moose (Alces alces) in the central interior of British Columbia from 1981 to 1990. Variations in the ovulation, fertilization, fetal and in-utero twinning rates were correlated to adult sex ratios. Significant correlations between the fetal rates and bull...
