Are moose only a large deer?: some life history considerations.
Jan 01, 2007; ... ABSTRACT: Body mass generally accounts for a large part of variation in life history traits of ungulates. However, phylogeny and ecological features such as habitat or diet have been shown to cause differences in life history patterns among species of similar size. To assess the factors ...
Modeling the impact of moose and wolf management on persistence of Woodland Caribou.
Jan 01, 2007; ... ABSTRACT: Limiting factors of caribou (Rangifer tarandus) populations vary regionally. In tundra environments, this species appears to be regulated by food, either because wolves (Canis lupus) are absent or because migration of caribou allows escape from predation during part of the year ....
Characteristics of neonatal moose habitat in northern New Hampshire.
Jan 01, 2007; ... ABSTRACT: Habitat use by parturient moose (Alces alces) may have important implications for calf survival and subsequently influence population dynamics. Because neonatal habitat may be limiting or specialized and little descriptive information exists in the northeastern United States, ...
Factors affecting epizootics of winter ticks and mortality of moose.
Jan 01, 2007; ... ABSTRACT: Die-offs of moose (Alces alces) associated with, or attributed to, winter ticks (Dermacentor albipictus) are widespread and have been reported since the early part of the last century. Extrinsic factors such as weather and vegetative structure, and host factors such as moose ...
Diagnosing parelaphostrongylosis in moose (Alces alces).
Jan 01, 2007; ... ABSTRACT: Thirty-six moose (Alces alces) reported as acting abnormally were examined in northwestern Ontario and adjacent northeastern Minnesota in 1986-2000. Thirty-four typically had little fear of humans, remained in an area for some time, and showed clinical signs of neuromotor ...
Trace elements status of moose and white-tailed deer in Nova Scotia.
Jan 01, 2007; ... ABSTRACT: The province of Nova Scotia is considered to have two distinct moose populations: mainland and Cape Breton Island. in 2003, moose of the mainland area of the province were formally listed as "ENDANGERED" under the Nova Scotia Endangered Species Act. To date, the specific causes ...
A spatial analysis of moose-vehicle collisions in Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks, Canada.
Jan 01, 2007; ... ABSTRACT: Moose (Alces alces)-vehicle collisions (MVC) can be costly ecologically by affecting population numbers, economically by vehicle damage, and socially through human injury or mortality. The purpose of this paper is to identify factors related to moose ecology, driver behaviour, ...
Metabolic impacts of winter tick infestations on calf moose.
Jan 01, 2007; ... ABSTRACT: Moose (Alces alces) are susceptible to late winter mortality from infestation of winter ticks (Dermacentor albipictus) throughout much of North America. Calves, perhaps more so than other ages of moose, likely experience chronic, and eventually acute anemia from blood removal by ...
Moose on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia: 20th century demographics and emerging issues in the 21st century.
Jan 01, 2007; ... ABSTRACT: Presumed extirpated in the early 1900s, moose were re-introduced to Cape Breton Island by the federal Park Service in the late 1940s. After 25 years of gradual growth the population expanded rapidly following a spruce budworm outbreak in the mid- to late-1970s, yielding a large ...
Seasonal adaptations of moose (Alces alces) metabolism.
Jan 01, 2007; ... ABSTRACT: The experiments were conducted on two yearling moose (Alces alces) with rumen fistulas in July and October. Intake of digestible nutrients and energy was two times higher in July than in October when water balance was lower. Total volatile fatty acid concentration in rumen liquid ...
Effects of willow quality on moose distribution in a montane environment.
Jan 01, 2007; ... ABSTRACT: Plant communities in Rocky Mountain National Park are influenced by a steep elevation gradient. Therefore, we hypothesized that summer forage quality of willow (Salix sp.) communities varies with elevation. Moose (Alces alces shirasi) in Colorado rely heavily on willow for summer ...

Jan 01, 2006; ... ABSTRACT: We have reviewed Swedish forestry and hunting literature in order to investigate how the management of moose (Alces alces) in Sweden has changed during the 20th century, especially after the re-establishment of the wolf (Canis lupus) in the 1980s.
