Abstract
Data on litter size of meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus) collected during the late spring and summer in southern Ontario disclosed that litters born in May and June were significantly larger than those born later in the summer. Winter reproduction of this species appears to be uncommon in this area.Keywords
