Variations, selon la progression de l'hiver, dans le choix de l'habitat et du régime alimentaire chez trois groupes d'orignaux ( Alces alces ) en milieu agro-forestier
Three distinct groups of moose (Alces alces) were followed for one winter in settlement areas of northwestern Quebec to investigate changes in their choice of diet and habitat over the winter. No trend was observed in structure and plant composition of winter yards over the season. From December to...
