range expansion of moose in arctic alaska linked to warming and increased shrub habitat.twentieth century warming has increased vegetation productivity and shrub cover across northern tundra and treeline regions, but effects on terrestrial wildlife have not been demonstrated on a comparable scale. during this period, alaskan moose (alces alces gigas) extended their range from the boreal forest into tundra riparian shrub habitat; similar extensions have been observed in canada (a. a. andersoni) and eurasia (a. a. alces). northern moose distribution is thought to be limited by forage ...201627074023
anti-brucella antibodies in moose (alces alces gigas), muskoxen (ovibos moschatus), and plains bison (bison bison bison) in alaska, usa.we used an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ielisa) and the rose bengal test (rbt) to test for anti-brucella antibodies in moose (alces alces gigas), muskoxen (ovibos moschatus), and plains bison (bison bison bison) from various game management units (gmus) in alaska, us, sampled from 1982 to 2010. a portion of the sera had previously been tested with the standard plate test (spt), the buffered brucella antigen (bba) card test, and the card test (card). no antibody-positive plains bis ...201626540335
molecular identification of taenia spp. in wolves (canis lupus), brown bears (ursus arctos) and cervids from north europe and alaska.taenia tapeworms of finnish and swedish wolves (canis lupus) and finnish brown bears (ursus arctos), and muscle cysticerci of svalbard reindeer (rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus), alaskan grant's caribou (rangifer tarandus granti) and alaskan moose (alces americanus) were identified on the basis of the nucleotide sequence of a 396bp region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene. two species were found from wolves: taenia hydatigena and taenia krabbei. the cysticerci of reindeer, ...201121571090
population structure and genetic diversity of moose in alaska.moose (alces alces) are highly mobile mammals that occur across arboreal regions of north america, europe, and asia. alaskan moose (alces alces gigas) range across much of alaska and are primary herbivore consumers, exerting a prominent influence on ecosystem structure and functioning. increased knowledge gained from population genetics provides insights into their population dynamics, history, and dispersal of these unique large herbivores and can aid in conservation efforts. we examined the ge ...200918836148
baseline body temperatures, heart rates, and respiratory rates of moose in alaska.baseline body temperatures (bt), heart rates (hr) and respiratory rates (rr) were obtained from alaskan moose (alces alces gigas miller) at the moose research center (mrc), alaska. excitability, seasons and drugs influenced the values to varying degrees. excitability was the most influential factor. safe expected ranges were: bt 38.4 to 38.9 c, hr 70 to 91 beats/min (b/min), and rr 13 to 40 respirations/min (r/min). these ranges incorporated all seasons, a central nervous system depressant drug ...19846530720
