Asynchronous Parturition in Bison: Implications for the Hilder-Follower Dichotomy
Green WH and Rothstein A. 1993. Asynchronous Parturition in Bison: Implications for the Hilder-Follower Dichotomy. Journal of Mammalogy. 74(4):920-925
This study examines bison births at Wind Cave National Park over a three year period (1982-1984). The goal was to determine the degree of synchrony. They found that "parturition was substantially less synchronized than previously reported for bison."
