摘要：
A method was developed for age and sex determination in the water vole (Arvicola amphibius L.) based on measurements of pelvic limb bones. Material was obtained from captive-bred animals of a known age. With the use of discriminant analysis, classification functions were found for the separation of the animals of an analyzed sample (n = 56) by sex and age with an accuracy equal to one year. Testing the control group (n = = 34) showed that the age of 90.0% of males and of 92.9% of females was determined correctly. The correctness of the classification by sex is 100%.
