Moose Habitat Selection and Fitness Consequences During Two Critical Winter Tick Life Stages in Vermont, United States†

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The moose (Alces alces) is a charismatic species in decline across much of their southern distribution in North America. In the northeastern United States, much of the reduction has been attributed to winter tick (Dermacentor albipictus) infestations ...

A Winter Outbreak of Anaplasmosis in a Nonendemic Area of Oklahoma: A Possible Role for Dermacentor Albipictus [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 1997
Anaplasmosis is endemic in cattle in several areas of the USA, including eastern and central Oklahoma. This rickettsia-induced hemolytic disease caused by Anaplasma marginale commonly occurs during warm months when arthropod vectors, both biological (ticks) and mechanical (biting flies), are abundant.

Environmental factors determining the survival of winter ticks (Dermacentor albipictus) at different life stages in Québec, Canada

open access: yesTicks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Ticks are responsible for large economic losses because of their impact on livestock and wildlife. In recent years, winter ticks (Dermacentor albipictus) have caused mass mortalities in moose (alces) populations of North America, leading to host ...

Life‐history stages and behavior influence demographic classification of moose captured on remote cameras

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Obtaining accurate information on demographic states, such as the age and sex classes of animals, is an important step for monitoring wildlife populations. Traditionally, demographic data are collected from harvest, aerial surveys and telemetry studies.

Exploring management options for moose at their southern range limits considering growing disease risk

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Simulation models for moose in New York including hypothetical disease and harvest scenarios help explore management options under uncertainty. While the population currently appears to be stable, increases in parasite‐induced disease attributed to shared space‐use with white‐tailed deer could lead to declines in this marginal moose population ...

Forest harvest and natural stressors compound to reduce juvenile ungulate survival

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.
Anthropogenic disturbances, such as forest harvest, create risky landscapes for juveniles by increasing their vulnerability to predation and hunting, and when combined with natural stressors like parasitism, likely drive population declines. Managing landscapes with a species‐centric approach that addresses the cumulative effects of human and natural ...

Metabolic and Population Effects of Winter Tick Infestations on Moose: Unique Evolutionary Circumstances?

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Moose (Alces alces) have evolved to store adequate body fat to emerge from winter in adequate nutritional condition that is key to annual productivity and neonatal survival.

Predation vs. Parasitism: A Case Study of Indigenous Co‐Stewardship and Science Co‐Production to Measure Temporal Shifts in Moose Mortality on Ancestral Lands of the Grand Portage Ojibwe

open access: yesEcology 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 ...
