Elk hunting on Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge: impacts on elk movement and aspen regeneration
… diversity of native plants and animals. When elk (Cervus elaphus) become overabundant, browsing prevents aspen regeneration, reduces survival, and consequently impacts local biodiversity. Given this, Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge (TNWR) initiated a limited annual elk hunt beginning in fall …

Laboratory denitrification using sediments from the Elk Valley Aquifer
… in the laboratory using sediments of the Elk Valley Aquifer in eastern North Dakota. The experiment entailed analyzing sediments for sulfides and solid organic carbon and isolating them in sample containers with a nitrate solution to determine if a measurable decrease in these components …

Denitrification in the Elk Valley aquifer, northeastern North Dakota
… controls nitrate distribution in the Elk Valley aquifer, which underlies approximately 725 square kilometres of northeastern North Dakota and provides drinking water for farms and rural communities in the area. Increased irrigation has raised concerns over potential contamination from …

HUMAN PREDATION RISK AND ELK BEHAVIOR IN HETEROGENEOUS LANDSCAPES
Elk (Cervus elaphus) are increasing in fragmented landscapes that result from exurban human development throughout western North America. This problem is increasing human-wildlife conflicts and represents a significant new challenge to wildlife managers. Elk hunting must be intensively managed, if …

In-situ measurement of denitrification in the Elk Valley aquifer
… an electron donor in denitrification within the Elk Valley aquifer of eastern North Dakota. </p><p>To test the ability of sulfides to serve as an electron donor in denitrification, two in-situ mesocosms (ISMs) were built and placed within the EVA about 1.5-m below the water table. The ISMs were …

Elk and Deer Hunters in Washington State: Affiliations and Ethical Behavior
Elk and deer are particularly challenging natural resources to manage due to their mobility and the impacts of other species and humans both direct and indirect. A man-made lack of natural predators has created a need for hunting in order to control the population expansions of herds. Such efforts …

Electron donor contributions to denitrification in the Elk Valley Aquifer, North Dakota
… a half years in in situ mesocosms (ISMs) in the Elk Valley Aquifer (EVA) in east-central North Dakota. Groundwater samples were analyzed to determine how much nitrate was lost beyond that explained by dilution of the bromide tracer. Additional losses were attributed to denitrification. The …

Genetic variability, demography, and habitat selection in a reintroduced elk (Cervus elaphus) population
… vital rates, and habitat use for a reintroduced elk (Cervus elaphus) population at Fort Riley, Kansas based on data collected from 2003 – 2007. Levels of allelic richness, observed heterozygosity, and expected heterozygosity for the Fort Riley population were intermediate to other North American …

Evaluating the homogeneity of preferences across resident and nonresident elk hunters in Colorado
Competition between resident and nonresident elk hunters in Colorado vying for hunting permits has led to much debate about the equitability of the current allocation of permits between the two parties. This study evaluates whether or not resident and nonresident hunters have the same preferences …

Development of An Elk Sightability Model for the Black Hills of South Dakota
Elk (Cervus elaphus) are important in the Black Hills of South Dakota because they are a prized game species, but also have negative impacts on private landowners through crop depredation. As a result, elk abundance is essential information required to successfully manage this population. …

Mapping elk distribution on the Canadian prairies: Applying local knowledge to support conservation
… Great Plains of North America, prairie-parkland elk (Cervus canadensis manitobensis) underwent a catastrophic population collapse and dramatic contraction of their overall range through the late 1800’s and the early 1900’s due to habitat loss (primarily from agricultural expansion) and …
