摘要: Abstract Sustained reproduction is critical for successful restoration of extirpated populations. Evaluating success efforts requires an understanding reproductive capacity in such We examined age-specific a Lontra canadensis (River Otter) population southern Missouri that was the focus intense 1980s and early 1990s. collected carcasses 387 legally harvested female Otters from 1996–1999. ranged age 1–11 years, with juveniles ( 1 yr) Otters. Our results indicate River Otter has one greatest recorded potential capacities species.
