because some wildlife species rely on high net reproductive rates to maintain populations, decreases in any aspect of reproduction may more adversely affect population levels than losses of individual adults. the studies reported in this paper were initiated to determine the effects of parathion on a prolific wildlife species, the cottontail rabbit. results indicate that administration of two 8 mg/kg of body weight doses of parathion 30 days apart did not prevent conception or significantly decrease litter size. vital organ weights did not differ significantly between treated and control groups. parathion-induced reductions in food intake lasted approximately two days. refs
