Download or read book Distribution of Hunter Groups and Environmental Effects on Moose Harvest in Interior Alaska written by Tessa R. Hasbrouck and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moose (Alces alces) is one of the most valuable wild game resources in Interior Alaska. In recent years, residents of rural indigenous communities have expressed concern that climate change and competition from non-local hunters are challenging local moose harvest opportunities. I collaborated with wildlife agencies and village tribal councils to co-design two studies to address rural community hunter concerns. The first study assessed the spatial and temporal distribution of local and non-local hunter groups to examine areas of potential competition. The second study addressed changing environmental factors and their impacts on moose harvest. Although competition among local hunters or among non-local hunters certainly occurs, competition between local and non-local hunters, or between resident and non-resident hunters is a more common and reoccurring issue. Local hunters are those who hunt in the area in which they reside whereas non-local hunters travel away from the area they reside to hunt. I assessed hunting patterns by local and non-local hunters in a remote hunting region near the interior villages of Koyukuk and Nulato to quantify moose harvest overlap between these two user groups to assess potential competition. I used Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) moose harvest records to develop a relative competition index that identified locations and time periods within the hunting season where the greatest overlap occurred from 2000-2016. I determined that the highest competition occurred between 16-20 September (i.e., peak harvest period) and was concentrated predominantly along major rivers. To decrease overlap and mitigate potential competition between hunter groups we recommend providing information on competition hotspots to hunters, or lifting the no-fly regulation in the Koyukuk Controlled Use Area with the caveat that hunting with the use of aircraft must occur 1.6 km from the Koyukuk River corridor. These actions may provide hunters information on how to re-distribute themselves across the landscape and allow hunters to use areas away from rivers, where most harvest currently occurs. Additionally, climate change and seasonal variability have anecdotally been documented to impact moose hunting opportunities. Specifically, warm temperatures, delayed leaf drop, and fluctuating water levels are concerns expressed by some local hunters. I quantified changes in temperature, leaf drop, and water level near Koyukuk and Nulato and the subsequent relationships between these environmental variables and the total number of moose harvested using linear regression models. I used temperature data, gauging station data (i.e., water level), remote sensing data (i.e., leaf drop analysis), and ADFG moose harvest records and explored previously untested hypotheses and to quantify relationships from 2000-2016. I concluded that non-local hunter harvest success was more dependent than local harvest success on environmental conditions. Non-local harvest significantly increased with higher water levels from 6-10 Sept (p=0.02), 11-15 Sept (p=0.02), and 16-20 Sept (p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The effect of climate change on moose (Alces alces) is of interest within the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR) because of the potential role this species plays in the conservation of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) and possible losses of recreational and economic opportunities if moose populations decrease. Moose have numerous direct and indirect linkages to climate and represent a potentially useful indicator of how climate change is affecting wildlife populations in general. The objective of this vulnerability study was to utilize a plausible, parsimonious, systems-level model of moose population dynamics to explore the response of moose populations to climate projections in the northeast Clay Belt region of Ontario (Ecodistrict 3E-1). Scenario analysis was conducted using a variety of assumptions about future biotic and abiotic interactions under Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) scenarios A2 and B1 (for details see IPCC 2000)."--publisher.

Download or read book Moose Management and Browsing Dynamics in Boreal Forest written by Johan Månsson and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foraging patterns of large herbivores will affect their impact on structures and functions of ecosystems and on human use of natural resources. The foraging patterns are affected by a multitude of factors, e.g., forage availability, environmental conditions, and herbivore density. Furthermore, the importance of these factors has been suggested to vary over temporal and spatial scales. The impact from large herbivores will affect the management actions to fulfil socio-political policies (e.g., regarding damage to forests) and the harvest quotas could be decided from monitoring of animal numbers and damage. However, wildlife managers are often faced with a choice of several available monitoring methods, at varying cost and precision. The aim of this thesis was to improve our understanding of: 1) factors governing the foraging patterns of large herbivores and thereby also the impact on the ecosystem; and 2) performance of survey methods in relation to monitoring cost. The study was performed in south-central Sweden, and moose (Alces alces) in boreal forest was used as a model system. The results suggest that herbivore foraging decisions are scale-dependent. The significance of moose density effects, site productivity, and diversity among forage species on the foraging pattern varied from feeding patch to landscape level. On the plant level, browsing pressure and moose preference for groups of certain species varied significantly. On the stand level, moose preference for certain habitats varied according to variation in snow conditions. Furthermore, the distribution of forage types (e.g., field and shrub layer) differed between the habitats and the browsing on the different layers of forage will therefore vary according to environmental conditions. The browsing pressure was also dependent on forage availability and herbivore density. Moose density in Sweden is mainly regulated by hunting. The hunting quotas rely on more or less accurate monitoring methods. The ability to reach management goals generally increased with monitoring effort, but a combination of two relatively inexpensive monitoring methods also produced successful management outcomes.
