Rebreeding of Female Mountain Lions After Litter Mortality. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We documented rapid rebreeding by female mountain lions (Puma concolor) following litter loss, including the shortest known rebreeding interval to date. These observations highlight the importance of infanticide and intraguild competition in shaping female fitness and population dynamics.
