摘要：
We used data from carcasses found in a natural population of nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) to assess the sources and age structure of mortality. Juveniles (young of the year) made up approximately 33% of the living population, but constituted about 60% of all carapaces collected. Circumstantial evidence indicated that most juvenile, but not adult, mortality was probably due to predation. Increased adult mortality was associated with a period of prolonged drought.
