MODELING A SOUTH-CENTRAL ALASKAN MOOSE POPULATION
A moose (Alces alces) population model was developed which utilizes parameters routinely measured by wildlife managers in Alaska. Information on the distribution, abundance, sex, and age characteristics of moose populations have been collected annually for harvest management since the early 1950’s....
