Parturition timing and the pre‐ and post‐partum behaviour of female moose assessed using animal‐borne video and movement‐based approaches

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Limited information on moose calving behaviour, including parturition timing, cow‐calf interactions, and pre‐ and post‐partum movement patterns hinder our ability to define calving phenology and habitat use. GPS‐collars were deployed on 89 female moose over five years, including eight collars equipped with animal‐borne video and environmental data ...

Habitat selection of moose in Sweden in managed boreal forests with Pinus contorta and P. sylvestris

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Human land use can take advantage of using exotic species to increase financial benefits. However, the use of exotic tree species might affect ecosystem functioning, potentially including the habitat use and movement behaviour of animals, modifying their ecological impact, and interactions with human land use.

The genetic relationship between commencement of luteal activity and calving interval, body condition score, production, and linear type traits in Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle [PDF]

, 2002
The decline of fertility in the UK dairy herd and the unfavorable genetic correlation (r(a)) between fertility and milk yield has necessitated the broadening of breeding goals to include fertility.

Bye bye baby: effects of bear predation on the movement and behavior of female moose

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Predators influence prey populations not only through direct mortality but also via non‐lethal effects that alter movement, space use, and behavior. While such indirect effects are well documented at broad spatial and temporal scales, short‐term maternal responses following calf loss remain poorly understood.

Genetic relationships between calving date, calving interval, age at first calving and type traits in beef cattle [PDF]

, 2002
In this paper the genetic relationships between major reproductive traits in beef cattle (Calving Date, Calving Interval and Age at First Calving) and type traits have been estimated to evaluate the usefulness of type classification in predicting ...

The effect of pre-calving feed restriction on reproductive performance of beef cows

, 1996
One hundred and thirty-four pregnant beef cows (liveweight = 544.3 kg ± 73 3 kg SD; condition score = 3.5 ± 0.3 SD), were randomly assigned in January to five management treatments (combinations of feed restriction and weaning time) to study the effects ...

Behavioral response of moose Alces alces to summer heat stress

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Minnesota moose are heat‐stressed during summers, which is adversely impacting their survival. We used both movement and activity data to explore the behavioral responses of Minnesota moose experiencing heat stress, termed ‘hot moose events' or HMEs, to understand how both ambient temperature and available habitat contribute to the ability of these ...

Quarter-milk somatic cell count at calving and at the first six milkings after calving

, 1999
Thirty cows were studied during the first six milkings after calving. Quarter foremilk samples were collected by the farmers at calving and at six subsequent milkings.

Keeping an eye on the moose population: evaluating monitoring via hunter observations

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Hunter‐based monitoring programs offer a cost‐effective approach to large‐scale wildlife monitoring, but their performance depends on sufficient observation effort and robust assessment of estimate precision. We evaluated the performance of ÄlgObs, Sweden's nationwide hunter‐based moose observation program, using data from six hunting seasons (2019 ...
