Abstract

We examined large series of the plains pocket gopher (Geomys bursarius) and Baird's pocket gopher (G. breviceps) collected in every month of the year in 10 Texas counties. Based on lengths of testes, both species potentially reproduce in every month of the year, although the likelihood of reproduction decreases in summer and autumn. Data from females revealed that breeding actually begins in late December or early January and continues through October (in Baird's pocket gopher) or November (in the plains pocket gopher).
