The role of maternal behavior and offspring development in the survival of mountain goat kids.

Oecologia - 1 May 2015

Théoret-Gosselin Rachel, Hamel Sandra, Côté Steeve D

Abstract excerpt

Studies on juvenile survival have mainly focused on the effects of environmental conditions and maternal traits. However, growing evidence indicates that the ability of parents to care for their young and the offspring developmental behaviors could be key determinants of their survival. We examined the relative influence of (1) environmental conditions, (2) offspring traits, (3) maternal traits, (4) maternal care...
