Spatial behavior of socially isolated wild pigs (Sus scrofa) following sounder removal via trapping
Following partial sounder removal, socially isolated wild pigs maintained site fidelity near traps, highlighting post‐control behavioral tendencies that are relevant to pest management and disease mitigation. Abstract BACKGROUND The rapid expansion of wild pig (Sus scrofa) populations across North America, coupled with increased concern over disease ...

SEASONAL VARIATION OF NUTRITIONAL HORMONES IN CAPTIVE FEMALE MOOSE
The health status of animals may be inferred from the patterns of hormonal concentrations and other chemical characteristics in blood samples. Baseline endocrine data representing the nutritional and reproductive condition of moose are currently unknown.

Effects of selective harvest on antler size of white‐tailed deer in Texas, USA
We conducted 20 years of experiments on the selective harvest of white‐tailed deer by antler size, judged inferior, in 2 areas of South Texas, USA. Selective harvest increased the phenotypic antler size of older males in one study area but not the other. There was little evidence of evolution resulting from selective harvesting. Abstract There has been

RECRUITMENT OF WINTER TICKS (DERMACENTOR ALBIPICTUS) IN CONTRASTING FOREST HABITATS, ONTARIO, CANADA
Recruitment of winter tick larvae (Dermacentor albipictus) was studied in a forest opening and a closed canopy deciduous forest to evaluate their potential as sources of tick infestation to moose (Alces alces). Engorged female ticks were set out in early

GENETIC RELATIONSHIPS DEDUCED FROM CYTOCHROME-b SEQUENCES AMONG MOOSE [PDF]
We studied variation in nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome-b gene to assess the phylogeny of moose (Alces alces) in general, and the position of North American moose within that phylogeny in particular. We combined North American, Asian,

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ungulate body fat reserves reflect the nutritional environment, often serving as a useful indicator of bottom‐up resource availability. However, body fat reserves also integrate energetic costs associated with avoiding predation risk and reproductive effort, and it is ...
