For one young which grew to the size of a subadult during the period covered by the records, movements within a 150-foot diameter were recorded.
Most of the young that were recaptured had grown to subadult or adult size, so that the movements they made as young cannot be separated from those made when they were full grown or nearly so.
There is a complete molt from juvenal to subadult pelage, and one from subadult to adult pelage.
The molt begins when the animal is three or four weeks old; at this time the juvenal pelage is replaced by the subadult pelage.
The second molt occurs when the prairie vole is between eight and twelve weeks old, and is the means by which the adult pelage replaces the subadult pelage.

As a result, contrast often is lacking between juvenal and subadult pelages in maniculatus making it difficult to assign an individual to one of these two age categories when examined in the field.
In museum specimens, the subadult pelage is much more noticeable because it can be compared with the pelages of other specimens.
Subadults: Subadult pelage having mostly replaced juvenal pelage; mice often as large as adults; testes of males often abdominal in breeding season; gray juvenal pelage may persist on head of some individuals.
In such trapping, it became apparent that juvenal and young mice suffered from exposure to cold and to heat much more than did subadult or adult mice.
Mice killed by exposure to heat or cold usually were juveniles or young; subadult and adult individuals of both species were more tolerant.
Young: Subadult pelage apparent on lateral line or on sides; body usually smaller than in adults.
Subadult and adult animals tolerate more extreme conditions of overheating or cooling, presumably because they are able to regulate their internal temperature better, by either losing or retaining heat more effectively.
The subadult pelage is thicker, longer and brighter than juvenal pelage and closely resembles the pelage of adults; it differs from adult pelage dorsally in being somewhat duller and in having less contrast between back and sides.

The molt (post-juvenal molt) from juvenal pelage to subadult pelage seemingly occurs at an early age, perhaps frequently before the young leave the nest, as individuals in juvenal pelage are few among specimens studied by us.
Evidently, these glands are associated with sexual maturity in males because neither Sanborn nor I found them in subadult males.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "subadult" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
