| Abstract: | Timing of parturition of caribou varies with in populations, but the relative influences of nutritional condition of females during the autumn breeding season and during gestaton on that variation is not known. We determined timing of parturition of caribou in Denali National Park, Alaska, during 1984-1995, which had wide variation in snowfall that influenced nutritional condition and productivity of females. The first young were observed each year between 4 and 15 May. Annual median dates of parturition for radiocollared females during 1987-1995 varied from 13 to 21 May.Synchrony of births did not vary significantly among years. Females |
