Description: |
2016 NWRC Accomplishment Report Photos. NWRC and Utah State University researchers investigated the effects of a reduced calorie diet during the 7 months before estrus on the reproductive rates of captive female coyotes and their subsequent pups. Findings suggest that well-fed females tend to have more male pups and that the amount and quality of food may affect future breeding cycles. |
