TRENDS IN NATALITY AND CALF MORTALITY OF MOOSE IN SOUTH CENTRAL ONTARIO
Abstract
Spring and winter occurrence of twin moose calves (Alces alces) were determined from 1981-1985 in Algonquin Provincial Park, south central Ontario. A technique is described for determining calf production by parturient cows in heavily forested habitat. Occurrence of cows with twins in spring and the following winter varied from a high of 78% and 25% respectively in 1982 to a low of 16% and 4.5% respectively in 1984.
