THE IMPORTANCE OF SALT LICKS AND OTHER SOURCES OF SODIUM IN THE ECOLOGY OF THE USSURI MOOSE (ALCES ALCES CAMELOIDES)	2002	5	.pdf	application/pdf	3004	114	63	Alexander M. Panichev1, Olga Y. U. Zaumyslova2, and V. V. Aramilev1 1Pacific Institute of Geography, Far Eastern Branch, Russian Academy of Science, Vladivostok, Russia; 2Sikhote–Alin State Reserve, Terney, Primoriye Territory, Russia ABSTRACT: The most important sources of sodium for moose (Alces alces) in Sikhote–Alin are: (1) freshwater aquatic vegetation (river, lake, and bog); (2) marine water and algae; and (3) sodium– saturated ground waters and soils at salt licks. Salt licks play an important role in the ecology of moose as a factor promoting their regular distribution under conditions of the mountain–taiga landscape and also affecting breeding activity; i.e., increasing the probability of encounters of mating partners.	cache/alces-1857.pdf	txt/alces-1857.txt
