摘要: Reproductive variables constitute a key information to assess population dynamics and inform wildlife management. We estimated wolf (Canis lupus) litter size reproductive phenology in Spain between 1987 2015 based on foetus or placental scar counts 75 females. Three out of twenty-five subadults (12%) 32 41 adults (78%) were classified as The mean was 35 females, being 5.67 subadults, counting, 5.54 6.00 adults, by counting respectively. Pregnancy observed 13 which sampled April (N = 7), May 4) June 2). Hence, the main mating season occur February March. To our knowledge, referred data constitutes most extensive updated available reproduction until today.
