Description:

Reproduction of the American mink Mustela vison Schreber, 1777 population introduced to Belarus was studied in 1983-1992. Material consisted of 52 male genitalia, carcasses of 45 pregnant females, and observations of 19 litters with blind cubs and 31 litters with larger cubs. The study was conducted in two areas in northern Belarus: Rossony, where the decrease of mink numbers due to excessive trapping was recorded, and Gorodok, where the expansion of American mink in the presence of the native European mink Mustela lutreola was observed.
