Fecha de publicación: | jul-2017 | Editor: | Springer Nature | Citación: | Mammal Research 62(3): 259-264 (2017) | Resumen: | We used information from 148 litters belonging to 119 different wild and captive female common genets (Genetta genetta) in SW Europe over a period of almost 50 years to study certain reproductive parameters. Data were obtained from a combination of sources including carcasses, live captures, telemetry-based studies, captive genets, and reports in the literature. The circannual pattern of breeding was fairly similar in both wild and captive genets, with births occurring in all months except December, albeit with a large peak in spring and a secondary peak in autumn. The sex ratio at birth was near to 1:1, and mean litter size was 2.16 ± 0.76 cubs/litter with a range of 1–5 cubs. Litters of two cubs were the most frequent both in wild and captive settings. In captivity, we have observed the births of replacement litters and double litters; however, we did not find evidence of wild females that having two litters in the same year. We conclude that the possibility of breeding at any time of the year is facilitated by the continuous spermatogenesis of the males and by the ability of females to enter into estrus after losing a litter prematurely and to breed twice in the same year. | Versión del editor: | http://doi.org/10.1007/s13364-017-0310-8 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/198760 | DOI: | 10.1007/s13364-017-0310-8 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1007/s13364-017-0310-8 issn: 2199-2401 |
