Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.This study, led by the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, tracks survival and examines causes of adult moose mortality from 2010 to 2022 on the Grand Portage Indian Reservation and in Voyageurs National Park. Using a Bayesian framework, we integrated multiple contributing factors to accurately estimate cause‐specific mortality probabilities ...

Moose Survival and Habitat‐Associated Risk of Endoparasites
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.We observed high rates of adult and calf moose survival in New York State, with mortality primarily due to disease associated with giant liver fluke infections. Calf mortality risk increased with increasing use of wetlands, where they can acquire giant liver fluke infections, and decreased with higher amounts of nutritional energy available.

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract Lepidoptera have long been known to feed on the tears of vertebrates as a presumed source of minerals or nutrients. While this unusual behavior has been observed in a variety of species, only a single previous record has been documented outside of the tropics. Here, we present the first documentation of moths visiting the eyes of a bull moose (

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 5, September 2025.Wild animals are infected with a large diversity and abundance of parasites that can affect their behavior, growth, body condition, and ultimately their survival. Although the adverse effects of parasites and the mechanisms involved in the interactions between a host and its parasites are generally well studied, much less is known about the additive or

FACTORS AFFECTING EPIZOOTICS OF WINTER TICKS AND MORTALITY OF MOOSE [PDF]
Alces, 2007 Die-offs of moose (AIces alces) associated with, or attributed to, winter ticks (Dermacentor albipictus) are widespread and have been reported since the early part of the last century.

INTERNAL GROSS PATHOLOGY OF MOOSE EXPERIMENTALLY INFESTED WITH WINTER TICKS
Alces, 2019 Captive moose (Alces alces) infested with 21,000 and 42,000 larval winter ticks (Dermacentor albipictus) in September-October, and unifested moose were studied to assess impact of winter ticks on moose.

Parasites & VectorsTick control is heavily reliant on chemical acaricides; however, acaricide resistance and potentially toxic environmental effects underscore the need to develop new tick control strategies.

People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 5, Page 1812-1821, October 2024.Abstract Understanding and addressing biodiversity declines across the globe will require interdisciplinary practices that embrace multiple worldviews and weave knowledge systems. Here, we used a Two‐Eyed Seeing approach to weave Anishinaabe ecological knowledge with peer‐reviewed Western scientific literature to provide a comprehensive understanding ...
