摘要: (1) The study was conducted from 1974 to 1984 in two areas of the Kruger National Park differing mean rainfall. Age-class specific survival rates were estimated by individual registration kudus present each female-young social unit, using natural markings. (2) kudu populations both increased 1974-78 then declined 1978-83. Because high annual variability juvenile recruitment, no stable age distribution attained.
