Alces archives from January 1 2004
Initial use of moose calf hunts to increase yield, Alaska.
January 1, 2004... ABSTRACT: In 2002 the Board of Game authorized Alaska' s first permit hunts specifically for calf moose (Alces alces). We promoted these calf hunts to help stabilize a high-density, food-stressed moose population and to compensate for declining...
An evaluation of the potential of glyphosate herbicide for woodland caribou habitat management.
January 1, 2004... ABSTRACT: Two studies evaluating the effects of glyphosate used for habitat management on caribou lichens and dwarf shrubs were undertaken. Glyphosate substantially reduced blueberry cover at all rates tested in both cutover and uncut areas....
Real-time moose tracking: an internet based mapping application using GPS/GSM-collars in Sweden.
January 1, 2004... ABSTRACT: To date, moose (Alces alces) tracking has relied on techniques either based on 'Very High Frequency' (VHF)/ 'Ultra High Frequency' (UHF) radio collars, or Global Positioning System (GPS) collars, often requiring significant effort in...
Northeastern Minnesota moose management--a case study in cooperation.
January 1, 2004... ABSTRACT: This paper provides an overview of moose management in northeastern Minnesota with an emphasis on relationships between the State and Tribal entities that share management responsibility. Specific topics discussed include settlement...
Shiras moose in Idaho: status and management.
January 1, 2004... ABSTRACT: Limited data indicate that Shiras moose (Alces alces shirasi) occurred in low numbers in Idaho throughout the 19th century. Harvest was allowed in Idaho during 1893-1898, after which seasons were closed. Shiras moose were fully...
Effects of overabundant moose on the Newfoundland landscape.
January 1, 2004... ABSTRACT: The long-term effects of introduced and overabundant herbivores on community development must be monitored and managed in an ecosystem-based forest management approach. This paper builds on previously published ecological descriptions...
Winter presence of moose in clear-cut black spruce landscapes: related to spatial pattern or to vegetation?
January 1, 2004... ABSTRACT: Winter aerial surveys of moose (Alces alces) were completed on 14 landscapes (10-256 [km.sup.2]) formed of aggregated black spruce (Picea mariana) clear-cuts logged 3-9 years ago in southcentral Quebec. Moose were present in 8...
Survival, reproduction, and movements of moose in the Western upper peninsula of Michigan.
January 1, 2004... ABSTRACT: Moose were extirpated from the Lower Peninsula of Michigan by the late 1800s. Although it is not clear if moose were extirpated from the Upper Peninsula (UP), the population was at the very least, reduced to a low level by ca 1900....
Response of a wintering moose population to access management and no hunting--a Manitoba experiment.
January 1, 2004... ABSTRACT: We report on an experiment undertaken in eastern Manitoba beginning in 1996, in which a moose population wintering in 62 [km.sup.2] (24.2 [mi.sup.2]) was protected from hunting until September 2003. At the time of closure, it is...
Moose winter diet selection in Central Ontario.
January 1, 2004... ABSTRACT: This paper documents moose (Alces alces) winter diets in the northern portion of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence forest region of Ontario. Seventeen of 20 species available along 2,890m of moose foraging path were browsed. Striped maple...
Genetics, evolution, and phylogeography of moose.
January 1, 2004... ABSTRACT: Early studies of genetic variation in moose (Alces alces) indicated little variation. Recent studies have indicated higher levels of variation in nuclear markers; nonetheless, genetic heterogeneity of moose is relatively low compared...
Moose escape behaviour in areas of high hunting pressure.
January 1, 2004... ABSTRACT: Although hunters cause more than 80% of moose mortality in some geographic areas, quantitative studies of how moose attempt to escape humans are surprisingly rare. We experimentally disturbed radio-collared moose of known age and of...
History of moose management in Wyoming and recent trends in Jackson Hole.
January 1, 2004... ABSTRACT: Moose are believed to have entered Wyoming from Montana and Idaho within the past 150 years. Moose did not become established in Jackson Hole until the early 1900s. In 1903, the Wyoming State Legislature closed moose bunting seasons....
Illegal moose kill in Northeastern Ontario: 1997-2002.
January 1, 2004... ABSTRACT: Conservation Officers found 793 illegally killed moose in the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Northeast Region during the period of 1997- 2002. Of these illegally killed moose, 365 were abandoned. The majority of abandoned moose...
Considerations for natural mineral licks used by moose in land use planning and development.
January 1, 2004... ABSTRACT: Despite an increasing body of knowledge about the predictable use and functional role of naturally occurring mineral licks in the ecology of ungulates such as moose (Alces alces), no documents have been published that discuss the...
Relative spatial distributions and habitat use patterns of sympatric moose and white-tailed deer in Voyageurs National Park, Minnesota.
January 1, 2004... ABSTRACT: We examined the distribution and home range characteristics of moose (Alces alces) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) at Voyageurs National Park, Minnesota. Pellet count transects revealed low densities of moose and higher...
