An Assessment of Moose (Alces alces americana) and Moose Management in Connecticut
<p>Eastern moose (<em>Alces alces americana</em>) populations have been increasing in New England over the past decade. Moose populations have the potential to generate human conflict due to their size, speed, nocturnal behavior, and seasonal mobility. As problems associated with increasing moose …

Can a habitat selection model predict the distribution of moose Alces alces over multiple years?
The Fennoscandian population of moose Alces alces has been growing exponentially for decades. It is the centre of a conflict between stakeholders in the logging and hunting industries, who respectively prefer a low and high number of individuals to maximise economic gain. Population management is …

WHITE SPRUCE (PICEA GLAUCA), MOOSE (ALCES ALCES) AND THE ORIGIN OF A ZOOTIC DISCLIMAX COMMUNITY ON ISLE ROYALE
<p>Understory herbivory combined with canopy loss alters trajectories of forest succession, and in extreme cases may produce novel landscapes dominated by the groundcover layer. I investigated the response of woody species to savannas which have emerged in Isle Royale National Park as a result of …

DISEASE IMPACTS ON MOOSE (ALCES ALCES) HEALTH AND ECOLOGY ALONG THEIR SOUTHERN RANGE LIMITS: PARASITES AS A LIMITING FACTOR IN NEW YORK
Moose (Alces alces) are a cold-adapted species with circumpolar distribution. Populations along their southern range limits in North American have fluctuated repeatedly and contend with varied and likely interacting stressors, including climate change, habitat alteration, conflict with humans, and …

A Systematic and Taphonomic Analysis of Late Pleistocene Cervid Remains and Isotopic Paleoecology of Herbivores from Guy Wilson Cave, Southern Appalachians, Tennessee
… <em>Rangifer tarandus</em>, and either <em>Cervalces scotti</em> or <em>Alces alces</em>. Separation of <em>Cervalces</em> and <em>Alces</em> based on the dental material was not possible. Taphonomic analysis of gnawing and tooth markings showed alterations by a canid predator, and the overall …

Moose and deer resource selection and co-occurrence in northeast Minnesota
… as a significant factor contributing to moose (Alces alces) population declines. Moose suffer from neurologic disease and usually die when infected with P. tenuis. The strength of the three-way relationship between moose, deer, and P. tenuis, and the resulting negative impact on moose health, is …

The Rewilding of New York's North Country: Beavers, Moose, Canines and the Adirondacks
… histories of beavers (Castor canadensis), moose (Alces alces americana), and wild canines (Canis spp.) within the Adirondack Highlands of northern New York. Devastated by the depredations of nineteenth century woodsmen, the populations of these large mammals rebounded during the twentieth century. …

Summer wolf diet in northwestern Montana
… spp.), elk (Cervus canadensis), moose (Alces alces), and other items from scats, and used Pearson’s chi-squared tests of proportions to measure differences among packs. We used hierarchical Bayesian stable isotope mixing models to determine diet and scales of diet variation from δ13C and …

Habitat Selection and Range Overlap of Moose and White-tailed Deer in the Boreal Plains of Saskatchewan
… predator–prey relationships among moose (Alces alces), white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), boreal caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), and wolves (Canis lupus). White-tailed deer, historically uncommon in boreal forests, have expanded their range over the past 50 years. This …

Resource selection and abundance estimation of moose: Implications for caribou recovery in a human altered landscape
… hypothesized to increase the abundance of moose (Alces alces), the dominant prey for wolves (Canis lupus), resulting in apparent competition. We first examined habitat selection of moose in 2 regions with differing intensities of human disturbance in west-central Alberta and east-central British …

Neospora Caninum: Oocyst Production in Dogs, Infection of Pregnant Cows With Oocysts, and Transmission Between Wild and Domestic Animals
… 26% of white-tailed deer, and 13% of moose ( Alces alces). These results are consistent with a sylvatic cycle of N. caninum. The expanding populations of coyotes and white-tailed deer throughout North America pose new challenges for the control of neosporosis in domestic animals. Protection of …

Influence of the thermal environment on forest cover selection and activity of moose in summer
… on habitat selection and activity of moose (Alces alces). Hemispherical photography was used to estimate the sky view factor (SVF) and effective leaf area index (Le) of coniferous stands as a function of crown closure class (CCC) values from forest cover maps. Moosehorn readings taken at …
