USE OF MANDIBLE VERSUS LONGBONE TO EVALUATE PERCENT MARROW FAT IN MOOSE AND CARIBOU
During winters 1977 through 1980 the mandible and a longbone were collected from moose (Alces alces) and caribou (Rangifer tarandus) kills found while conducting a wolf (Canis lupus)-moose relationships study in southcentral Alaska. Percent marrow fat for the paired samples was significantly correla...
