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 …

Plant Community Development of Isle Royale's Moose-Spruce Savannas
<p>On Isle Royale National Park, heavy moose browsing over the past 100 years has suppressed the regeneration of many tree species, gradually resulting in a shift towards more open forests and savannas. By 1996, 16% of the forests at the southwest end of Isle Royale had become savanna and another …

Moose and deer resource selection and co-occurrence in northeast Minnesota
… cited 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 …

Dendroarchaeology in the Mackenzie Mountains: The Moose Horn Pass Caribou Fence (KjRx-1)
The Moose Horn Pass Caribou Fence site is a collection of three wooden fences located in the Tulita District of the Sahtu Settlement Area, of the Northwest Territories. Situated in traditional Shúhtagoťine (Mountain Dene) territory, it is believed to have been used to assist past hunters in …

The late prehistoric period at the Turn in Kingsway Park, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan
… the archaeological resources at the Turn area of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, in light of two field seasons of investigations undertaken there in 1984 and 1985. Excavations recovered a Plains/Prairie Side-notched assemblage and an Avonlea assemblage which are described here. The implications of these …

Influence of the thermal environment on forest cover selection and activity of moose in summer
… environment 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 …

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 …

Resource selection and abundance estimation of moose: Implications for caribou recovery in a human altered landscape
… is 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 …

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 …

Habitat Selection and Range Overlap of Moose and White-tailed Deer in the Boreal Plains of Saskatchewan
… are reshaping 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 …

Movements, Resource Selection, And Risk Analyses For Parasitic Disease In An Expanding Moose Population In The Northern Great Plains
<p>Little is known regarding moose ecology in North Dakota, and a decline in moose in northeastern North Dakota may be linked to parasites of white-tailed deer (<em>Parelaphostrongylus tenuis</em> and <em>Fascioloides magna</em>). I investigated the ecology of moose, including the potential effects …
