BEHAVIORAL AND THERMOREGULATORY RESPONSES OF MOOSE TO HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES AND INSECT HARASSMENT IN ASPEN-DOMINATED FORESTS

Heart rate and insect annoyance were studied in hand-reared adult moose (Alces alces) cows released into a 65-ha enclosure in April, May, July, and October. Radiant heat load exerted the greatest influence on heart rates of bedded moose in all months. Wind and insects had lesser, but significant eff...
