Abstract

Concern over the apparent unpredictability of moose (Alces alces) die-offs related to winter tick (Dermacetor albipictus) induced hair-loss prompted this investigation. Comparison of data from 1984 to 1993 implies that tick-induced winter lair-loss severity and spring moose mortality may be directly related to mean April temperature of the previous year or years.
