alces: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called alces.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

• FRAGMENTATION OF EURASIAN MOOSE POPULATIONS DURING PERIODS OF POPULATION DEPRESSION by Sipko, Taras P; Kholodova, Marina V (2009) - We regard our results as preliminary because these data are incomplete, and distribution of moose populations varied in space and time and was not always documented accurately. Geography and ecology of moose populations in Amur-Ussurijskij kraj. Keywords: alces; area; east; moose; moscow; population; range; river; russian
• COMPARING STRATIFICATION SCHEMES FOR AERIAL MOOSE SURVEYS by Fieberg, John R; Lenarz, Mark S (2012) - 3. Side-by-side box plots of total moose observed in survey plots by stratum in northeastern Minnesota, USA, 2005-2011 for: a) the current expert opinion based stratification scheme; b) the Poisson regression model based stratification scheme (using the same data to fit models and determine strata); c) the Poisson regression model based stratification scheme using out-of-sample predictions (from cross validation); d) boosted tree stratification scheme (using the same data to fit models and determine strata); e) boosted tree stratification scheme using out-of-sample predic- tions (from cross validation). By contrast, strata based on expert opinion were formed prior to data collection (although past survey data were occasionally used to change stratum assignments, these temporal changes were updated in our survey data only for future, and not prior years). Keywords: alces; cover; data; minnesota; model; moose; plots; strata; stratification; stratum; survey
• ECOTHERMIC RESPONSES OF MOOSE (ALCES ALCES) TO THERMOREGULATORY STRESS ON MAINLAND NOVA SCOTIA by Broders, Hugh G; Coombs, Andrea B; McCarron, Jessica R (2012) - The last hunting season for mainland moose was held in 1981 (Parker 2003), and in 2003 the population was classified as endangered under the Nova Scotia Endangered Species Act. Given the con- cern for certain moose populations at the ALCES VOL. 48, 2012 BRODERS ET AL. - MOOSE RESPONSE TO TEMPERATURE 59 southern fringe of their range, it would be prudent for further investigation into the extent to which behavioural thermoregulation (i.e., ectothermy) impacts population productivity.

• VISIBILITY OF MOOSE IN A TEMPERATE RAINFOREST by Oehlers, Susan Annette; Bowyer, R. Terry; Huettmann, Falk; Person, David K.; Kessler, Winifred B. (2012) - Timing of sampling and type of aircraft were the same used by ADFG when conducting moose surveys. All second observers in our study were experienced in moose surveys (i.e., 40-150 h of moose survey experience); consequently, our model will be most effectively applied when using experienced observers, a conclusion also reached by Quayle et al. (2001). Keywords: age; alaska; alces; cover; et al; forest; group; model; moose; sex; snow; survey; visibility; wildlife

• USING A DOUBLE-COUNT AERIAL SURVEY TO ESTIMATE MOOSE ABUNDANCE IN MAINE by Kantar, Lee E.; Cumberland, Rod E. (2013) - In Compromise Management Zones, the goal is to balance public concern about moose-vehicle collisions with its desire to hunt moose; further, it is stipulated that moose populations in such zones must be reduced by 1/3 from the population estimate calculated in the year 2000 that was based upon the relationship between moose abun- dance and moose observations by deer hunters (Bontaites et al. 2000). In subsequent years, extensive sal- vage cutting increased the intensity of forest harvesting and clear-cuts, and creation of extensive road systems across the commer- cial forest landscape, utilization of smaller diameter wood, and shorter rotations all pro- duced a landscape with increased carrying capacity for moose populations.

The declining trend in yearling condi- tion in New Hampshire and Vermont from 1988–2009 suggests that average tick loads might impact moose populations through reduced fitness and fecundity of yearlings. Keywords: alces; body; hampshire; moose; new; vermont; weight; yearling
• OPINIONS ABOUT MOOSE AND MOOSE MANAGEMENT AT THE SOUTHERN EXTENT OF MOOSE RANGE IN CONNECTICUT by LaBonte, Andrew M.; Kilpatrick, Howard J.; Barclay, John S. (2013) - A minority (31%) of landowners supported hunting as a method to control moose populations in Connecticut based on their current level of concern; their support was highest if hunting was carefully regu- lated and controlled by the state, or if the moose population and number of MVAs were increasing (both 54%).

• BROWSE REMOVAL, PLANT CONDITION, AND TWINNING RATES BEFORE AND AFTER SHORT-TERM CHANGES IN MOOSE DENSITY by Paragi, Thomas F.; Seaton, C. Tom; Kellie, Kalin A.; Boertje, Rodney D.; Kielland, Knut; Young, Jr., Donald D.; Keech, Mark A.; DuBois, Stephen D. (2015) - In 4 areas of interior Alaska where moose density recently changed, we evaluated the magnitude of change among 4 browse indices: proportional offtake of current annual growth biomass (OFTK), proportion of current twigs that were browsed (PTB), mean twig diameter at point of browsing (DPB), and proportion of plants with broomed architecture. In 1 area where moose density increased 100% in 6 years fol- lowing effective predation control, browse removal increased 138% for OFTK, 20% for PTB, and 16–42% for DPB of primary browse species, with a 44% increase in brooming.

• POPULATION GENETIC STRUCTURE OF MOOSE (ALCES ALCES) OF SOUTH-CENTRAL ALASKA by Wilson, Robert E.; McDonough, Thomas J.; Barboza, Perry S.; Talbot, Sandra L.; Farley, Sean D. (2015) - 51: 71–86 (2015) Key words: Alaska, genetic diversity, gene flow, moose, population genetic structure The pattern of geographical variation in genetic diversity and divergence is dictated by the interaction of genetic drift, gene flow, and natural selection (Eckert et al. 2008), and these evolutionary processes can be influenced by the location of a population within the species’ geographic range (Briggs 1996, Wisely et al. 2004, Howes and Lough- eed 2008). Analysis of genetic diversity and population genetic subdivision We calculated allelic richness, inbreed- ing coefficient (FIS), observed and expected heterozygosities, and tested for deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) and linkage disequilibrium (LD) for each microsatellite locus and population in FSTAT ver. 2.9.3 Keywords: alaska; alces; anchorage; diversity; et al; flow; gene; gmu; kenai; moose; peninsula; population; structure

• DISTRIBUTION OF WINTER BROWSING BY MOOSE: EVIDENCE OF LONG-TERM STABILITY IN NORTHERN SWEDEN by Palo, R. Thomas; Öhmark, Sara M.; Iason, Glenn R. (2015) - According to Moran’s I, the spatial var- iation of birch and willow densities, as well as of browsed birches, showed significant autocorrelation at distances between 1000– 2500 m (Fig. 2). At greater distance, the number of browsed birch varied between plots more than expected by chance. Keywords: alces; birch; browsing; density; depth; distribution; moose; snow; willow
• SHOOT GROWTH RESPONSES AT SUPPLEMENTARY FEEDING STATIONS FOR MOOSE IN NORWAY by Mathisen, Karen Marie; Rémy, Amandine; Skarpe, Christina (2015) - The goal of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that trees at moose feeding stations produce small shoots due to long-term brows- ing impact, compared with trees further from feeding stations. We measured shoot morphology along a gradient at 3 distance categories from feeding stations using a study design employed in previous surveys (Mathisen et al. 2012, Pedersen et al. 2014): feeding station (FS), 0–30 m; inter- mediate (INT), 150–400 m; far (FAR), 900–1500 m. To minimize variation among plots, we focused on young, mixed conifer- birch forest in the Norwegian forestry cutting classes 2 (trees up to 8 m) and 3 (trees above 8 m but not mature for felling), with a field layer dominated by bilberry (Vac‐ cinium myrtillus) or cowberry (V. vitis-idaea) Keywords: alces; browsing; et al; feeding; moose; pine; scots; shoot; stations

• VARIATION IN FINE-SCALE MOVEMENTS OF MOOSE IN THE UPPER KOYUKUK RIVER DRAINAGE, NORTHCENTRAL ALASKA by Joly, Kyle; Craig, Timothy; Sorum, Mathew S.; McMillan, Jennifer S.; Spindler, Michael A. (2015) - In this study, we examined fine-scale movement data collected as part of a larger project that assessed moose movements between GAAR and KNWR, and the DHCMA. Our data sug- gest that cow movement rates do not drop substantially during calving, rather, that bull movement rates increase measurably during early summer.

• USING AERIAL SURVEY OBSERVATIONS TO IDENTIFY WINTER HABITAT USE OF MOOSE IN NORTHERN MAINE by Andreozzi, Haley A.; Pekins, Peter J.; Kantar, Lee E. (2016) - Although regenerating forest habitat was used only in proportion to availability, the proximity to recent clearcuts, light partial cuts, and heavy partial cuts was an import- ant predictor of moose location. Trends in used habitat variables were similar at locations and the 5 ha scale; specif- ically, the majority of used units were found in mature (mixed, deciduous, and conifer- ous) and regenerating forest (recent clear- cuts, partial cuts, regenerating forest, and scrub-shrub, Table 4).

• STATUS AND TRENDS OF MOOSE POPULATIONS AND HUNTING OPPORTUNITY IN THE WESTERN UNITED STATES by Nadeau, M. Steven; DeCesare, Nicholas J.; Brimeyer, Douglas G.; Bergman, Eric J.; Harris, Richard B.; Hersey, Kent R.; Huebner, Kari K.; Matthews, Patrick E.; Thomas, Timothy P. (2017) - After periods of population expansion and subsequent declines due to overharvest during the late 1800s, it is large- ly believed that moose populations increased to new highs during the early to mid-1900s within portions of Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming (Brimeyer and Thomas 2004, Fig. Though moose management units in Colorado and Utah contain the southern-most introduced and naturally occurring moose populations in the world, the relatively high elevations of occupied habitats in these regions result in climates similar to neighboring states further north (Table 1).

(NEMATODA, PROTOSTRONGYLIDAE) ORIGINATING FROM REINDEER (RANGIFER TARANDUS) AND MOOSE, WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON CLINICAL SIGNS, GROSS- AND MICROSCOPIC LESIONS, AND PREDILECTION SITES by Stéen, Margareta (2023) - Two species of Elaphostrongylus were associated with neurologic disease in these cervids, namely E. rangiferi (Mitskevich 1960) and E. alces (Stéen et al. 1989, 1997, Stéen and Johansson 1990, Gibbons et al. 1991, Gajadhar et al. 2000). High density populations of moose and reindeer presumably facilitated the spread of E. alces and E. rangiferi, such that high rates of neurological disease in both during the 1980s and 1990s were likely due to elaphostrongylo- sis (Stéen and Rehbinder 1986, Stéen and Roepstorpff 1990, Handeland 2002, Davidson ALCES VOL.

• MOOSE: COMPETING AND COMPLEMENTARY VALUES by Timmermann, H. R.; Rodgers, A. R. (2005) - In the absence of general agreement on terms and definitions, we have chosen, for the purposes of this discussion, to categorize moose values into two components: those we consider competing and those we con- sider complementary based on a literature search and personal communication with wildlife managers. This review is restricted to studies of moose values conducted and re- ported in North America and Fennoscandia.

• SUMMER DIET COMPOSITION OF MOOSE IN ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, COLORADO by Dungan, Jason D.; Wright, R. Gerald (2005) - These results are similar to those found by Van Ballenberghe et al. (1989) in Denali National Park, Alaska, where woody species made up 96% of moose summer diets, and Joyal and Scherrer (1978) in Mont-Tremblant Park, Quebec, where moose summer diets consisted of 100% woody browse. October/November fecal analyses coupled with winter transect data suggest that willow may not constitute a large proportion of moose winter diets in RMNP, although a comprehensive study of winter diets has not been performed.

• GENETICS, EVOLUTION, AND PHYLOGEOGRAPHY OF MOOSE by Hundertmark, Kris J.; Bowyer, R. Terry (2004) - During subsequent warming intervals, moose habitat would have spread to the north, allowing moose populations to expand (Guthrie 1995). Genetic change in moose populations over very short time scales (tens or hundreds of years) is possible under harvest management regimes and those changes may not be beneficial to moose in the long term.

• MOOSE ESCAPE BEHAVIOUR IN AREAS OF HIGH HUNTING PRESSURE by Baskin, Leonid; Ball, John P.; Danell, Kjell (2004) - Based on our analysis, we suggest that quantifying the escape behav- iour of moose may lead to a better under- standing of the selective force human hunt- ers are exerting on moose populations, and may lead to improvements in using hunter observations to manage moose populations. Be- cause moose hunting seasons are long (Sep- tember 1 – December 31), escaping moose often will find themselves in a new area where there is no group of hunters active on the same day.

• CONSIDERATIONS FOR NATURAL MINERAL LICKS USED BY MOOSE IN LAND USE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT by Rea, Roy V.; Hodder, Dexter P.; Child, Kenneth N. (2004) - We reviewed the literature on the biophysical attributes of mineral lick sites and their use by moose to illustrate the importance of licks and outline criteria that may serve to help in the development of guidelines to protect these land features. 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 importance of implementing management guidelines aimed to protect these habitat features.

• STATUS OF MOOSE POPULATIONS AND CHALLENGES TO MOOSE MANAGEMENT IN FENNOSCANDIA by Lavsund, Sten; Nygrén, Tuire; Solberg, Erling J. (2003) - Tradi- tionally, harvest statistics have been as- sumed to provide a reasonably proxy to the variation in moose density in Norway and Sweden (Cederlund and Markgren 1987, Østgård 1987), recognizing time lags due to delays in the decision-making process (e.g., to settle the right quota size; Cederlund and Markgren 1987, Solberg et al. 1999). Andersen et al. 1991), it is commonly assumed to be closely associated with moose density (e.g., Lavsund and Sandegren 1991; Solberg et al. 1997, in press; Haikonen and Summala 2000).

• PRELIMINARY HABITAT SUITABILITY ANALYSIS FOR MOOSE IN MAINLAND NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA by Snaith, Tamaini V.; Beazley, Karen F.; MacKinnon, Frances; Duinker, Peter (2002) - Aquatic resources are an important com- ponent of moose habitat in many areas (e.g., Wright 1956, Dunn 1976, Crossley and Gilbert 1983, Leptich and Gilbert 1989, Thompson et al. 1995). The objectives of the habitat suitability analysis were to: (1) analyze the suitability of moose habitat in Nova Scotia using a HSI model; (2) based on the model, produce a theoretical distribution of habitat suitability across the landscape; (3) test the model by comparing it to pellet group inventory (PGI) data as an index of moose distribution; (4) determine which habitat components may influence moose habitat selection; and (5) examine the effects of human land use on moose habitat selection by using road den- sity as an index of human influence.

• APPLICATION OF A MOOSE HABITAT SUITABILITY INDEX MODEL TO VERMONT WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT UNITS by Koitzsch, Ky B. (2002) - The model was useful in estimating relative habitat suitability of both WMUs, identifying within-WMU habitat variation, quantifying change in habitat suitability following a natural habitat-altering event, and predicting temporal change in moose habitat due to changes in forest management practices. Initial validation of this model for analyzing moose habitat at the WMU-scale is supported by correlation of HSI output to moose harvest data for WMU E1 25-km2 evaluation units and by comparison of HSI to estimated moose densities for both WMUs.

• OPTIMAL HARVESTING OF MOOSE IN ALBERTA by Xu, Cailin; Boyce, Mark (2010) - We developed a model for quota-harvest management of moose populations in Alberta that includes 1) stage and sex structure as typically monitored in the field, 2) estimation of carrying capacity and herd composition at carrying capacity from limited population survey and harvest data, 3) stage-structured density dependence following the general patterns documented in ungulate populations (Fowler 1987, Eberhardt 2002, Owen-Smith 2006), and 4) environmental stochasticity. We investigated optimal harvest strategies for moose populations in Alberta with the aim either to optimize the yield of bulls (i.e., the number of harvested males of yearling age and older; goal B) or alternatively to optimize total yield (i.e., the total number of harvested calves, females, and bulls; goal TY) within Wildlife Management Units (WMU).

• POTENTIAL VULNERABILITY OF BULL MOOSE IN CENTRAL BRITISH COLUMBIA TO THREE ANTLER-BASED HUNTING REGULATIONS by Child, Kenneth; Aitken, Daniel A; Rea, Roy V; Demarchi, R A (2010) - ABSTRACT: Antlers from bull moose (Alces alces andersoni) harvested in the Omineca sub- region of central British Columbia were submitted by hunters for inspection, measurement, and comparison by age in 1982-1989. In this study we examined the potential vulnerability of bull moose harvested in the 1980s from the Omineca sub-region of the central interior of British Columbia (Fig. 1) to 3 antler-based hunting regulations (Fig. 2) practiced in the province: spike/fork (S/F), tripalm (TP), and 10 point (10PT).

• THE IMPACT OF MOOSE (Alces alces andersoni) ON FOREST REGENERATION FOLLOWING A SEVERE SPRUCE BUDWORM OUTBREAK IN THE CAPE BRETON HIGHLANDS, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA by Smith, Craig; Beazley, Karen Faye; Duinker, Peter; Harper, Karen A (2010) - Additionally, the recent establishment of moose exclosures will facilitate an understanding of the effects of the removal of moose browsing pressure, and could provide insight into the capacity for restoration of a balsam fir-dominated canopy. The Spearman correlations examining the association between PELLET and the 5 sapling browse categories for each of white birch and balsam fir indicated that the relation- ship between PELLET and the Regeneration Index is likely a function of significant positive associations between moose pellet abundance and the density of severely browsed balsam fir and white birch saplings (Table 5).

• EFFECTS OF ESSENTIAL OILS ON THE FEEDING CHOICE BY MOOSE by Edlich, Sabine Christina; Stolter, Caroline (2012) - To examine differences in the terpenoid composition of the essential oils of plant samples, and to examine if the commercial oils (spruce oil, juniper oil; Shandiin, Ham- burg, Germany) could be used for our experi- ments, we compared the chemical profiles of the commercial oils with the essential oils extracted by distillation from plant material collected during winter 2008-2009 in Lower Saxony, Germany (53°09’02“N, 9°54’44“E). Because essential oils are volatile, our objectives were to determine if 1) odour plays a role in the food choice by moose, 2) whether single monoterpenes act as feeding deterrents, and 3) if this might be a mechanism used to discriminate against unpalatable plants.

• RESPONSE OF A WINTERING MOOSE POPULATION TO ACCESS MANAGEMENT AND NO HUNTING – A MANITOBA EXPERIMENT by Crichton, Vince; Barker, Trevor; Schindler, Doug (2004) - Each proposal must also include a proactive access man- agement and road retirement program rec- ognizing that once a tradition of access has been established on such roads the chances of closing it are greatly reduced. To enhance the success of road closures, an effective public educa- tion and communication program (devel- oped by government and industry) relating to the rationale for closures along with effective enforcement must be part of any program.

• IMPACT OF MOOSE BROWSING ON FOREST REGENERATION IN NORTHEAST VERMONT by Andreozzi, Haley A.; Pekins, Peter J.; Langlais, Matt L. (2014) - Height of 11–20 year old stems was less than in New Hampshire, indicating that growth was possibly suppressed in Vermont due to higher moose density. Intense brows- ing in areas of high moose density can arrest or retard growth of preferred browse species (Bergerud andManuel 1968, Angelstam et al. 2000).

• EFFECTS OF VARIABLE FIRE SEVERITY ON FORAGE PRODUCTION AND FORAGING BEHAVIOR OF MOOSE IN WINTER by Lord, Rachel; Kielland, Knut (2015) - However, we found that moose exhibited significantly higher browse consumption relative to browse production in high fire severity sites than in low severity sites (P < 0.05). In contrast, browsing at lower rates (when moose are at lower population density) may possibly extend the period of increased forage availability following high severity fires.

• COMPOSITIONAL ANALYSIS OF MOOSE HABIAT IN NORTHEASTERN MINNESOTA by Lenarz, Mark S.; Wright, Robert; Schrage, Michael W.; Edwards, Andrew J. (2012) - In winter the average home range contained a substantially higher proportion of Cutover and a lower proportion of Conifer and Other cover types than was available in the study area (Fig. 3). Because our analysis treated summer as a much longer period (1 April-30 September), selection for the Aquatic cover type may have been eclipsed by selection for other cover types during the remainder of this season.

• MOOSE RESPONSES TO WILDLIFE VIEWING AND TRAFFIC STIMULI by Silverberg, Judith K.; Pekins, Peter J.; Robertson, Robert A. (2003) - While there was minimal change in moose response to viewers in the blind, responses to trucks passing and cars stop- ping were measurable and pronounced as moose fled at > 3 times the rate relative to response to the standard visitor. Baseline moose behavior was re- corded only when the perfect viewer was present and there were no other human stimuli. Keywords: car; moose; passing; stimuli; viewer; viewing; wildlife
• IMPACTS OF WILDLIFE VIEWING ON MOOSE USE OF A ROADSIDE SALT LICK by Silverberg, Judith K.; Pekins, Peter J.; Robertson, Robert A. (2002) - The most active use of salt licks by moose at the control and viewing sites was at 2000-0600 h. There was no evidence moose changed their nocturnal visitation patterns as was suggested from anecdotal information from Pittsburg, New Hamp- shire, where moose viewing has been a popular pastime since the mid-1980s.

• EFFECTS OF MOOSE POPULATION DENSITY ON DEVELOPMENT OF FOREST STANDS IN CENTRAL EUROPEAN RUSSIA by Abaturov, Boris D.; Smirnov, Konstantin A. (2002) - At the 3-year-old cutover, their height already reached 130 cm, and at 7–8- year-old cutovers, their height ranged be- tween 1.5 to 2.0 m. Good growth of moun- tain ash, which is depressed in other regions with high moose population density, is note- worthy. CONCLUSIONS The above gives grounds to conclude that in regions with increased density of moose populations, the moose has drasti- cally changed the pattern of development of stands in clearings, which was manifested in the depression of growth of deciduous, in particular, the forage species, i.e., the as- pen, and to a lesser extent the birch.

• AGE-RELATED ANTLER CHARACTERISTICS IN AN INTENSIVELY MANAGED AND NUTRITIONALLY STRESSED MOOSE POPULATION by Young, Jr., Donald D.; Boertje, Rodney D. (2018) - Poor antler development was an important concern for 2 reasons: 1) low annual recruitment of bull moose into the harvestable 50-inch (127-cm) antler class in the study area might restrict local harvest when the “Intensive Management” harvest objective was to specifically reduce moose density, and 2) retarded antler growth in yearling and 2-year-old bulls could bias bull:cow and yearling:cow ratios. In particular, we wish to thank the wildlife technicians in the Fairbanks and Anchorage ADFG offices that took the time to measure antlers and pull teeth from lower jaws of hundreds of bull moose over the course of this study.

• PARTURITION ACTIVITY OF MOOSE by Bogomolova, Ekaterina M.; Kurochkin, Yuriy A. (2002) - In early May the growth of green plants begins, which are the main food for moose calves and their mothers. Only 2 of 140 labors that we observed happened in the presence of other cow moose. Keywords: behavior; moose; parturition

• USING PELVIS MORPHOLOGY TO IDENTIFY SEX IN MOOSE SKELETAL REMAINS by Duetsch, Jason; Peterson, Rolf (2012) - Several linear angular (n = 5) and linear (n = 3) measurements were made on Isle Royale moose pelvises (n = 35). We found that college undergraduate students (n = 9) correctly identified the sex of moose from its pelvis in only 61% of trials (n = 15), despite training that included dia- grams (Taber 1956) and examining tuberosities on moose pelvises. Keywords: angle; length; moose; pelvis; pelvises

• ANTHROPOGENIC EFFECTS ON MOOSE POPULATIONS IN THE SOUTHERN TAIGA by Zablotskaya, Lidia V.; Zablotskaya, Maria M. (2002) - The rapid growth of moose populations was promoted by the abundance of winter forage, the low harvest of this species in Russia over many years (no more that 2– 3% of the population), and migration of moose from more northern regions (Zhirnov 1967). The severe damage to trees and shrubs inflicted by moose led to a sharp increase in moose harvest. Keywords: forests; moose; pine

• SEASONAL FEATURES OF NUTRITION AND NITROGEN METABOLISM IN MOOSE by Badlo, Larisa P.; Simakov, Anatoly F. (2002) - Total nitrogen was determined with the Kjeldahl method and protein nitrogen with the Barnshtein method; non-protein nitrogen equaled the difference between total nitrogen and protein nitrogen. Saturation of rumen digesta by nitro- gen-containing substances was revealed by our measurements of total protein, non- protein nitrogen, ammonia, and amino-ni- trogen. Keywords: moose; nitrogen; protein; rumen

• A POSSIBLE SOURCE OF BRAIN ABSCESSES IN BULL MOOSE by Crichton, Vince; Wowchuk, Rick (2020) - Although documented reports are rare with moose, MacCracken et al. (1994) found a high frequency of cast moose antlers with attached pedicle bone in the Copper River Delta in Alaska; however, the authors attributed this to genetic and/or local geographic causes. Nevertheless, we propose that a contribut- ing factor to substantial pieces of parietal bone on cast moose antlers may be the physical force used to shed the remaining contralateral antler when striking it against solid objects, most often trees. Keywords: antlers; bone; cast; moose

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. Keywords: alin; licks; moose; salt; sikhote; sodium
