Abstract: | In a Minnesota ecosystem, mass of female white-tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus fawns and adults, and survival of adult females in the face of Canis lupus predation, were directly related to maternal nutrition during gestation. Mass of single male fawns produced by 2-yr-old females, and survival of yearlings to 2 yr of age were related directly to the nutrition of their grandmothers. -Authors |
