Influence of stimuli from populations of Peromyscus leucopus on maturation of young
The effects of stimuli associated with conspecific laboratory populations on parameters of sexual maturation in Peromyscus leucopus were examined.

As evidenced by age at first vaginal estrus, experimental females mat

[Book review] American sportsmen and the origins of conservation
