Overview

Analysis reveals nutrition and predation affect moose population dynamics in Montana, highlighting vital rates during environmental change.

Key Points

  • Population dynamics are shaped by nutrition, predation, and parasitism, with significant impacts on vital rates.
  • Adult female survival is crucial for population growth, averaging 0.88–0.92 across study areas and influenced by maternal age.
  • Observational study assessing 615 moose-years highlighted relationships among health, predation, and environmental factors.
  • Findings underscore the need for targeted wildlife management, as nutrition emerges as a key determinant in moose population health.
