Does Prey Density Predict Characteristics of Primiparity in a Solitary and Specialized Predator, the Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis)?
Age at primiparity is a flexible life history trait that purportedly responds to changing population dynamics and variable resource abundance. We examined placental scars in yearling Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis Kerr, 1792) from the island of Newfoundland and used pregnancy rates and litter sizes to...
