| moose milk and hair element levels and relationships. | milk was collected from 21 alaskan moose (alces alces gigas) at the kenai moose research center (mrc), soldotna, alaska nad analyzed by atomic absorption spectroscopy for al, as, ca, cd, co, cr, cu, fe, hg, k, mg, mn, mo, na, ni, pb, se and zn. hair samples were collected from 100 moose at the mrc to correspond with the lactation period and serve as a metabolic indicator of mineral elements stored in tissue. published analyses of bovine milk were compared to moose milk; al, fe, se and zn were hi ... | 1976 | 933310 |
| experimental brucella suis biovar 4 infection in a moose. | a moose (alces alces gigas) was inoculated with brucella suis biovar 4 to better understand the effects of brucellosis in this species. serum antibody titers increased rapidly and peaked within 21 to 56 days. fever, leukocytosis, recumbency, anorexia and depression were observed starting 42 days post inoculation. brucella suis biovar 4 was isolated from blood, lymph nodes, liver and spleen. | 1991 | 1920668 |

| carnivore repatriation and holarctic prey: narrowing the deficit in ecological effectiveness. | the continuing global decline of large carnivores has catalyzed great interest in reintroduction to restore populations and to reestablish ecologically functional relationships. i used variation in the distribution of four holarctic prey species and their behavior as proxies to investigate the pace and intensity by which responses are lost or reinvigorated by carnivore repatriation. by simulating the presence of wolves (canis lupus), tigers (panthera tigris), and brown bears (ursus arctos) at 19 ... | 2007 | 17650259 |
| 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, ... | 2011 | 21571090 |
| 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 ... | 2016 | 26540335 |
| high-throughput dna sequencing of the moose rumen from different geographical locations reveals a core ruminal methanogenic archaeal diversity and a differential ciliate protozoal diversity. | moose rumen samples from vermont, alaska and norway were investigated for methanogenic archaeal and protozoal density using real-time pcr, and diversity using high-throughput sequencing of the 16s and 18s rrna genes. vermont moose showed the highest protozoal and methanogen densities. alaskan samples had the highest percentages of methanobrevibacter smithii, followed by the norwegian samples. one norwegian sample contained 43 % methanobrevibacter thaueri, whilst all other samples contained < 10 ... | 2015 | 28348818 |
| 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 ... | 2016 | 27074023 |
| sufentanil citrate immobilization of alaskan moose calves. | free-ranging alaskan moose calves (alces alces gigas) were immobilized with 0.12 mg/kg sufentanil (s; n=16), 0.12 mg/kg sufentanil plus 0.27 mg/kg xylazine (sx; n=11), or 0.007 mg/kg carfentanil plus 0.36 mg/kg xylazine (cx; n=13). immobilants were antagonized with 1.2 mg/kg naltrexone (s) or 1.2 mg/kg naltrexone plus 2.4 mg/kg tolazoline (sx, cx). there were no differences in induction (p ≥ 0.29) or processing (p ≥ 0.44) times between groups. moose given either s or sx had significantly shorter ... | 2012 | 23060515 |
| 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 ... | 2009 | 18836148 |
| 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 ... | 1984 | 6530720 |
| new roles in hemicellulosic sugar fermentation for the uncultivated bacteroidetes family bs11. | ruminants have co-evolved with their gastrointestinal microbial communities that digest plant materials to provide energy for the host. some arctic and boreal ruminants have already shown to be vulnerable to dietary shifts caused by changing climate, yet we know little about the metabolic capacity of the ruminant microbiome in these animals. here, we use meta-omics approaches to sample rumen fluid microbial communities from alaskan moose foraging along a seasonal lignocellulose gradient. winter ... | 2017 | 27959345 |
