The Role of Predation in Limiting Moose at Low Densities in Alaska and Yukon and Implications for Conservation
Gasaway WC, Boertje RD, Grangaard DV, Kelleyhouse DG, Stephenson RO, Larsen DG. 1992. The Role of Predation in Limiting Moose at Low Densities in Alaska and Yukon and Implications for Conservation. Wildlife Monographs. 120:3-59
We address 3 major questions facing wildlife managers and wildlife users of northern ecosystems: (1) Why do moose (Alces alces) often remain at low densities relative to K carrying capacity (KCC) in lightly harvested systems? (2) What is the range of potential moose harvest yields from these northern systems? and (3) What are some steps that can reduce the controversy over management of moose, wolves (Canis lupus), and bears (Ursus arctos and U. americanus)?
