Tanana Flats Training Area Moose Calving Site Study Agreement #: W912DY-09-2-011Study Agreement • October 31st, 2014
Contract Type FiledOctober 31st, 2014Moose (Alces alces) is the most important game resource in Interior Alaska (Nelson et al. 2008, Fall 2010). Detailed information on moose movement and habitat selection is required to effectively manage the species and maximize hunting opportunities for people nutritionally and culturally dependent on the resource. Knowledge of movements and habitat use by moose during the calving season (May-June) is particularly important because moose have high nutritional demands (fetus growth, lactation: Reese and Robbins 1994, Regelin et al. 1985, Schwartz and Hundertmark 1993) and elevated sensitivity to disturbance (human and natural) during this time (Bogomolova and Kurochkin 2002, Bowyer et al. 1999).
