摘要：

Temporal variation in association between male and female mouflon (Ovis gmelini) during rut, and timing of births were studied in relation to age of females in the Massif du Caroux-Espinouse (southern France). Mating and lambing periods each lasted 10 weeks; however, most females conceived during the first 6-7 weeks of the mating season. Females greater-than-or-equal-to 3 years old reproduced earlier and were more productive than 2-year-old females. Yearling females did not have lambs.
